***Recorded in Auckland, New Zealand on four-track reel-to-reel by Chris Knox (Tall Dwarfs), and originally released on Flying Nun Records in 1982, In a Hole captures The Fall in fine, tight and edgy form, playing tracks from the Hex Enduction Hour and Room To Live albums, as well as a few tracks that would later be released as singles and oldies. It is still considered to be the definitive live Fall album, both in quality of recording, performance and material. It is the final recording with the era's line-up, as Marc Riley was sacked as soon as the band returned to England. In a Hole originally came with a free 12-inch; this re-mastered, updated version comes with the extra tracks from that 12-inch, plus six others recorded elsewhere on the same New Zealand tour.
