On The Fall’s debut album ‘Live At The Witch Trials’, Mark E. Smith famously claimed there’d be No Xmas For John Quays. For Fall fans, xmas has come early this week, since Cherry Red have knocked 20% off their complete Fall archive.

What Else Is New?: The 2019 Dinosaur Jr. Reissues
There have been various Dinosaur Jr. reissues over the years – most notably the Rhino CDs from 2010 – but none that have served the band especially well in the age of deluxe editions and lavish box sets for legacy artists. The Rhino reissues were a step in the right direction with each featuring a smattering of bonus materials (save for ‘You’re Living All Over Me’ which managed to be a potential downgrade from the earlier SST CD), but those still didn’t give the big fans too much in terms of unreleased materials or rarities. Luckily, the 2019 campaign from Cherry Red Records puts that right. The period between 1990 and 1997 presents their most commercially successful, but with that came four great albums, an archive of unheard live material and a lot of other stuff that deserves to be shared.
