Who knows, for example, what a ‘canajetta’ might be? The reference to a ‘fire escape’, however, may possibly relate to the recording of Alton Towers (see YMGTA #36). […]

There have been noises about Cherry Red releasing it as a bonus disc on a reissue, but it seems to have gone quiet. Fingers crossed.

Chimney is indeed great 🙂

Exploding Chimney is an underloved classic.

I would have made it top three, top two even. An absolute classic, every tune a cracker with a great riff. You can tell they must have had a lot of fun making it (not always a given with The Fall!) The start of the last great Fall period.
There was an interview with MES on Newsnight Review when the short stories collection came out and he predictably dismissed it. There was a panel discussion afterwards where Paul Morley, Kirsty Wark and John Harris absolutely tore it to pieces and I think they were right. Even the writers I like (Niall Griffiths, Stewart Lee) turned in terrible work. I still have it on a DVD-R somewhere, I could try and upload it to Youtube if anyone here is interested?
