The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace (1985)

This Nation's Saving Grace is an LP by The Fall, originally released in 1985. It reached number 58 in the UK charts. At the beginning of 1985, the group were without Paul Hanley, who left after completing the group's 1984 tour, as well as his brother, bassist Steve Hanley who took four months paternity leave from the band in the early part of the year. A tour was undertaken and the group recorded the double a-sided single "Couldn't Get Ahead / Rollin' Dany" and subsequent single "Cruiser's Creek" with Simon Rogers standing in on bass. The group had met Rogers through ballet dancer Michael Clark and he had already co-produced the early recordings of Brix Smith's other group The Adult Net. When Hanley returned, Rogers remained with the group, switching to guitar and keyboards - Hanley's return was marked with the inscription "S Hanley! He's Back" on the run-out groove of side one of the album. The album is frequently cited as one of the group's finest. It ranked at #46 in Spin's "100 Greatest Albums 1985-2005" and the CD edition was awarded the rare accolade of 10.0/10 by Pitchfork Media.
The CD edition was issued in 1988. The bonus tracks are all taken from contemporaneous UK singles. All of these tracks (with the exception of "Cruiser's Creek") were compiled in the US as the By Grace Are Ye Saved EP - this EP added "Barmy", missing from many non-UK editions of the album. A previously unissued edit of "Cruiser's Creek", omitting 2 verses, was used for this CD release and for all subsequent releases of the track on compilations (no explanation for this has ever been given). Despite this, the CD edition effectively compiles the group's entire 1985 output. The Fall Online website has reported that this album will be remastered and reissued in 2009.
