With their backs resolutely turned against the glare of the music scene, The Fall have danced and grumbled in its shadow for over a decade. At the core of this resolve stands Master of Ceremonies Mark E. Smith whose penchant for life's grotesque ordinariness and all things amiss with the big rock biz commands the respect of many kindred spirits.

'Paintwork', through a wealth of flashbacks. traces The Fall back to their grubby Mancunian roots, through the era of the Hip Priest to the ascendance of Mark's wife Brix as a crucial cog in the wheel. As The Fall are slowly forced out of the underground Brian Edge champions the 'Fall ethic' in print for the first time.

Fully illustrated and including a comprehensive discography.
