All Music Guide Review:

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Bypassing their edgy, early singles and concentrating on their artier, more eclectic work of the mid- and late '80s, 458489 A-Sides encapsulates nearly all of the Fall's many attributes. All of the singles on A-Sides are culled from the era when Brix Smith was in the band, arguably the band's most cohesive and rewarding years. Drawing from their strongest albums -- The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall, This Nation's Saving Grace, Bend Sinister, The Frenz Experiment -- A-Sides offers an excellent introduction to the Fall. It is both a useful retrospective and a kind of road map, pointing out the differences between albums. For neophytes and the uninitiated, there is no better sampler, and for longtime fans, the collection reiterates what a fine singles band the Fall were in their heyday.


Mark Prindle Review:

458489 A Sides - Beggars Banquet/RCA 1990.

9 out of 10


All the singles from the squeaky-clean Brix era. Get it? 45s from 84 to 89? Oh, that ever-abstruse Mark E. Smith. Good compilation, especially since it has the wonderful non-album-tracks "Living Too Late" and "Oh! Brother," in addition to nifties like "L.A.," "C.R.E.E.P.," and "Dead Beat Descendant." But one warning: If you've got a girlfriend in pharmacy school, don't keep playing "Mr. Pharmacist" every time she enters the room. It will irritate her. You'll just to have to trust me on this.
