It also became the first Fall album to be released on CD, with the addition of single "Living Too Late" and B-side "Auto-Tech Pilot". The album's title, a heraldic term, is taken from Vladimir Nabokov's 1947 novel of the same name.īend Sinister was released in June 1986 by Beggars Banquet.
Julia Adamson, who engineered some of the recording sessions, would eventually join the Fall in 1995 as a keyboard/guitar player.
Leckie, for his part, drew the line at Smith's insistence that some tracks be mastered from a standard audio cassette that Smith had been carrying around and listening to on a Walkman. Smith argued during the recording, with Smith complaining that "he'd always swamp everything, y'know, put the psychedelic sounds over it". Ex-member Paul Hanley stepped in at first before permanent replacement Simon Wolstencroft was found. When recording began, the band was without a drummer, as Karl Burns was fired shortly before sessions began.
