Description

Slates is an EP by The Fall, released on 27 April 1981 by Rough Trade Records. It was one of singer Mark E. Smith's favourite Fall releases, and he claimed it was aimed at "people who didn't buy records".
Slates was released on 27 April 1981. Containing six tracks and pressed onto 10" vinyl, it was eligible for neither the single nor album charts, being too long for the former and too short for the latter. It was, however, included in the UK Independent Singles chart, where it reached No. 3. The six tracks include "Fit and Working Again", in which Smith comments on the working class work-ethic, and compares his state of mind to that of boxer Alan Minter after taking LSD, and "Leave the Capitol", which was seen as summing up Smith's negative view of London. The vinyl has etched on it "Keep shtum. Plagiarism infects the land". Slates made its first appearance on CD in 1992 on the Dojo label, where it was coupled with live album A Part of America Therein, 1981, at the time these being two of the hardest Fall releases to find. This combined album was reissued in 1998 by Essential and in 2002 by Castle Communications. It was also reissued by Castle on CD with bonus tracks comprising the band's March 1981 Peel session, both tracks from the "Lie Dream of a Casino Soul" single, and the previously-unreleased outtake "Medical Acceptance Gate". Slates was reissued on its original 10-inch vinyl format in 2016 on the Superior Viaduct label.
The sleeve is in VG to Excellent with general ageing and wear and tear, still in really good condition. (See photos)
The vinyl itself Excellent condition, with some wear and tear but very minor, very shiny (See photos)
