Live at the Witch Trials is the debut album by The Fall, first released on 16 March 1979. It is not, despite its title, a live album, but was recorded in the studio in one day and mixed by producer Bob Sargeant the next. In 2004, bassist Marc Riley told the BBC that the group had been booked into the studio for a week but that Mark E. Smith had fallen ill, leading to the cancellation of the first 3 days.

  • Live at the Witch Trials is the debut album by The Fall, first released on 16 March 1979. It is not, despite its title, a live album, but was recorded in the studio in one day and mixed by producer Bob Sargeant the next. In 2004, bassist Marc Riley told the BBC that the group had been booked into the studio for a week but that Mark E. Smith had fallen ill, leading to the cancellation of the first 3 days. No singles were taken from the album, a practice that would be commonplace for the group until the late 80s. Some songs dated from earlier incarnations of the group with both Tony Friel and Una Baines featuring on the writing credits. Described by AMG as "brilliantly scabrous", the album was given a generally positive reception, with Record Mirror in particular giving it a full five stars and describing the album as "a rugged, concerned, attuned, rebellious jukebox". Melody Maker was less impressed, being especially negative about the group's then-rhythm section of Marc Riley and Karl Burns. In the event, by the time the album was released, Burns had already left the band and guitarist Martin Bramah also quit shortly afterwards to form Blue Orchids, leaving Mark E. Smith as the sole remaining founder member.
  • Live at the Witch Trials est le premier album de The Fall, sorti en 1979.
  • Live at the Witch Trials — дебютный альбом The Fall, записанный в студии Camden Sound Suite и выпущенный лейблом Step Forward 16 марта 1979 года. Альбом (вопреки заголовку) не был концертным. Группа записала его за один день, и на следующий день он был смикширован продюсером Бобом Сарджентом. Марк Райли в интервью Би-би-си (2004) рассказал, что группа арендовала студию на неделю, но Марк Э. Смит заболел и первые три дня оказались потерянными. Синглов из альбома выпущено не было (этому принципу The Fall оставались верны вплоть до конца 80-х годов). Часть песен была написаны предыдущим составом: в числе авторов значатся Тони Фрил (Tony Friel) и Уна Бэйнс (Una Baines). В США альбом вышел также в 1979 году в другом оформлении. Трек «Industrial Estate» был заменен здесь на «Various Times», b-сайд второго сингла группы, «It’s The New Thing». Альбом в целом получил высокие оценки, Record Mirror дал ему пять звезд. Вскоре после его выхода Бёрнс ушел из группы, за ним последовал гитарист Мартин Брама.
