Notes
Track duration "estimations" as printed on the rear sleeve:
A1. 3' +
A2. 4' +
A3. 2' +
B1. 3' +
B2. 6' +
B3. 4'
Cat Number is "RTO 71" and not RT 071 as many erroneous sources state. Not only is that confirmed by the cat number on the labels (a clear gap between the letter 'O' and the number '71'), but is also confirmed by the matrixes in the run off grooves which also have etched RTO - 71. The 'O' being the letter 'O' and not the number '0'.
A fair number of copies of the RTO 71 Porky Lyntone pressings were distributed in the TRADE THREE 10 "Five dollars only" sleeves.

Reviews
- A lot of people say This Nation's Saving Grace is the best Fall record, but this is actually the best Fall record.
The Fall at their very best, I reckon. This and the Peel Sessions.
Edited one year agoI already had a copy of this record then won another off John Peel. Can't for the life of me remember the 'competition'! (It was over 40 years ago and I'm old). Anyway he signed it. Result!
Green and pink paper inserts, label info and MES jargon from 'the fall foundation'.
