The Fall's debut LP, "Dragnet," arrived in 1979, a raw and uncompromising statement of intent from a band that would become a touchstone for alternative music. This recording captures the group in its early, venomous form, prior to the recruitment of notoriously unreliable keyboardist Karl Burns.
- The album was recorded at Grass Roots Studio in London in August 1979.
- "Dragnet" was originally released by Cherry Red Records in October 1979, with a second pressing featuring a different tracklist.
- The original vinyl pressing featured a gatefold sleeve with liner notes by NME journalist Mick Middles.
