The Fall - Slates (EP Vinyl)

Slates is an EP by The Fall, first released on the 27th April 1981 on Rough Trade Records. Containing 6 tracks and pressed onto 10“ vinyl, it was eligible for neither the single nor album charts, being too long for the former and too short for the latter. However, it was included in the UK Independent Album chart, where it reached #3. The track ’Middle Mass’ was in part a play on George Eliot’s 1871 novel Middlemarch.
