MARK E SMITH'S PERSONAL HOLIDAY TONY TAPES

Limited 180gm orange colored vinyl LP pressing. A mixture of live and studio out-takes that have never been out on vinyl before! quot;About five or six years ago Mark E Smith and I were going through some old audio recordings of The Fall both in the studio and live and he invented a character called Holiday Tony who he said should be the person who should come round and listen to the tapes with us,quot; explains Chris Hewitt. quot;He made a phone call to me telling me Holiday Tony lived in Prestwich and went to Blackpool on his holidays once a year with an old brown suitcase with recordings of The Fall inside. I even got a letter off Mark telling me when it was OK for Holiday Tony to go round and see him. Another idea of Marks about three years ago was to do a vinyl and that every track should just be called The Holiday Tony Tapes.
