Us 50,000 Fall fans have long known that beneath the curses and clamour was something genius, and now, thanks to Tessa Norton and Bob Stanley’s lovingly compiled Excavate, the rest of the world can know too! Chock full of artefacts, essays and factoids, it’s possibly the defining book about The Fall.
The life story of a man who famously said “between truth and legend, print the legend” is inevitably going to hold some unbelievable stories, but it’s exactly these - filtered through Morley’s razor-sharp pen - that make this book so brilliant. Between local indie legends, punk-charged tracts on r’n’b, and a variety of wild and baggy memoirs, our bookshelves (and your tote bags!) have been bursting at the seams all year.īOOK001, though, has got to be journalist-to-the-stars Paul Morley’s biography of Factory icon Tony Wilson, From Manchester With Love.
