Fragments of Smith's lyrics often appeared handwritten on early Fall album and single covers, along with collages he had put together. In a 1983 interview with Sounds, Smith said that he liked artwork to reflect the album content and that his graphic choices reflected his attitude to music. He mentioned how he was drawn to cheap and misspelled posters, amateur layouts of local papers and printed cash and carry signs with "inverted commas where you don't need them".

In November 1980, the Fall released their third full-length album Grotesque (After the Gramme). Preceded by a couple of acclaimed singles "How I Wrote 'Elastic Man'" and " Totally Wired", the album went to #1 on the UK Indie Chart. It was co-produced by Rough Trade's Geoff Travis and Mayo Thompson of Red Krayola and showed a significant improvement in production, which was to continue throughout the period. Smith, however, was unhappy with Rough Trade's politics, which showed when Slates came out in April 1981. Intentionally made too long for a single and too short to be considered an album, it was released as a 10" EP for a price of just 2 pounds. The Fall eventually quit Rough Trade by the end of the year, and instead signed with a small indie label Kamera. So he fled to the country. So he fled to the country. So he fled to the country. So he fled to the country." (amended lyrics to "I Feel Voxish", ushering in "Hard Life in Country") Craig Scanlon on male vocal. Spiders know these things. Gremlins know these things. Help me! Help me!" (before "City Hobgoblins")

Andrew Wilson posted the one of the right, but I think it has to be from another gig, and I don't think it matches any of the gigography listings, unfotunately Michael Tarren-Sweeney remembers seeing The Fall at this venue in 1982, and I'm guessing that this was the date, although I suppose it could be around 9th August when they returned to the city. a b Betts, Graham (2004).

They underwent many line-up changes, with vocalist and founder Mark E. Smith as the only constant member. [1] [2] The Fall's long-term musicians included drummers Paul Hanley, Simon Wolstencroft and Karl Burns; guitarists Craig Scanlon, Marc Riley, and Brix Smith; and bassist Steve Hanley, whose melodic, circular bass lines are widely credited with shaping the band's sound from early 1980s albums such as Hex Enduction Hour to the late 1990s.
