"Jeff," wrote John Peel in the sleeve notes to The Light User Syndrome, "has produced an authoritative Fall discography". Well this is it!

Included herein are the details of the music of one of Britain's most prolific bands. The discography aims to document all of The Fall's material, released on vinyl, compact disc, audio cassette and video cassette from the band's conception through to the present day. Books dedicated to The Fall are given a (necessarily small) section at the end.

Only UK releases and essential imports of The Fall material are included. To attempt to document the whole world's releases would reveal a few differing record labels, release dates and track listings whilst not (so far as I'm aware) throwing up any tracks unavailable in Britain.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure accuracy and completeness of the discography I'm only human!
