The Fall’s ‘Seminal Live’ to be Reissued

The remastered part-studio, part-live album is due out in September

The Fall’s 1989 record Seminal Live is being reissued.

Set to be made available on yellow vinyl and digitally, the half-studio, half-live album has been newly remastered for the updated release. The physical release will come with reimagined artwork and new sleeve notes.

Seminal Live was the first of many live and semi-live albums across The Fall’s catalogue. Its release marked the end of the band’s prolific Beggars Banquet era, which had began in 1984. The studio recordings on the record were all new songs and make up the first side of the album, while the live recordings on side two were all versions of previously-released tracks.

The reissue can be pre-ordered here.

Beggars Arkive will release Seminal Live on September 5, 2025.
