When Fall manager Kay Carroll and Mark Smith first walked into the shop, her face dropped at the sight of the bootleg 'Lie Dream' T-shirts hanging everywhere. She looked furious, and said something to Mark about it, but he didn't appear to care.

A few years later I opened up the weekly NZ 'Listener' magazine and turned to Chris Knox's review of 'This Nation's Saving Grace' . Chris had based a caricature of Mark on the photo above.
Press:
"Everybody's temporary in the Fall"
Helen Collett interviewed Mark and Kay for the weekly New Zealand Sunday Times: here.
"...the rather rhythmic beat would stop and Smith would begin yet another episode jungle philosophy"
Victoria Macdonald reviewed the August 20 show in the Auckland Star: here.
Niccol: You're not being very receptive.
Smith: You keep asking stupid questions.
Fiona Niccol bravely interviewed Mark by phone for the Auckland Star. A classic of the MES interview genre: here.

Superb, thanks very much! Some of the best photos of the Fall I've ever seen...
Wow- like looking at your school photos (y'know the ones where you're drinking Fosters at 10am?) You got any more of those bootleg Lie Dream t'shirts? Slightly larger now I think. I can't wait to point these out to Steve & Marc. 'When we were the new boys' - indeed
Wonderful stuff. I wasn't even born then but probably favourite line-up/era. And black and white just beats colour anyday. Oh, and THANKS Paul.
Fantastic photos!
