Reviews
All Music Guide Review:

Review by Alex Ogg
The title cleverly encapsulates the contents - the Fall's B-sides (45s) from 1984 to 1989. The Fall were a first-rate singles band, and the flip sides were often their equals. There is the odd dud here -- there are a thousand Fall songs to hear and "Clear Off" and "Mark'll Sink Us" wouldn't be high on ones list of priorities. But there are also many genuinely great tracks: "Petty Thief Lout," "Australians in Europe," "No Bulbs." It should be noted that in the Fall's turbulent history, their six-year spell at Beggars Banquet was their most productive and artistically rewarding. There are actually 31 tracks on view here, including a handful of remixes -- rich pickings (the album was never originally issued outside of Europe).


Mark Prindle Review:

458489 B Sides - Beggars Banquet 1990.

8 out of 10


The companion piece. A double-CD set. They had some great B-sides ("Hot Aftershave Bop," "Australians in Europe," others), but a lot of these are just remixes and long instrumental versions of A Sides. Cool enough, though. I wouldn't throw it out of bed. Not with that hole in the middle.
