ARTIST: THE SOUND
TITLE: ALL FALL DOWN
  Description: RARE ORIGINAL UK PRESSING OF THE THIRD SOUND LP . 

Founded from the remnants of The Outsiders, the original lineup of The Sound consisted of Adrian Borland (vocals, guitar), Graham Bailey (bass), Mike Dudley (drums) and Benita "Bi" Marshall (keyboards, saxophone, clarinet). In 1979, the band signed a contract with Korova Records, a small label under Warner Brothers, to produce three albums. They debuted with Jeopardy, which received favourable reviews.

The second album, From the Lions Mouth, was a triumph in itself, and received good reviews, but wasn't bound to let the band break beyond a cult status, even if time proved it to be an early eighties classic LP. Korova pressured Borland and his mates to come up with a more commercially successful third album. In an act of rebellion, the band responded with All Fall Down, an album that took them even further away from that direction. Drummer Mike Dudley told it this way: "We thought [the label wasn't] giving us the support that we were due and that if they really wanted a commercial album, they had got to put plenty of money behind it, which with both Jeopardy and From the Lions Mouth they hadn't really done... So when they turned around and said 'The solution is for you to write more commercial songs,' we thought, 'Fuck you,' and went ahead and produced All Fall Down."

During the early 1980s, The Sound toured throughout Europe, covering the UK and much of the continent. Like their contemporaries, the Comsat Angels (whom they toured with in 1981), they enjoyed perhaps their greatest success in the Netherlands, developing a substantial following there. The Sound recorded several Peel sessions and continued to release excellent albuns until 1987. Following the collapse of The Sound, Borland maintained a solo career for approximately a decade. Never able to conquer depression, Borland committed suicide on April 26, 1999, throwing himself in the path of an express train at Wimbledon station.
