Fall: Festive Fifty Entries

Festive Fifty Entries
Criteria

This list contains all of the Fall's entries in the Festive Fifty chart, in the order in which they appeared. The only years they did not appear are 1976-8 and 1982 (surprisingly, none of their music made the All-Time chart of that year). Where JP cited the original source played, this has also been included. Where he did not, an educated guess has been made based on the recorded version available at the time of the broadcast. In some cases, the track concerned was also issued as a single: if this was also available on LP or CD at the time, the latter is listed, prefaced by the words 'presumably from', since in all known instances they are identical to the single versions. This is also true of 12 inch releases. Note also that no Peel Session recording prior to 1983 has been included, since Peel stated that this was the first year any session recording had been voted for in sufficient numbers to make the chart.
