AllMusic[1]

Bingo-Master's Break-Out! is the debut EP by English post-punk band The Fall.[2][3] It was released on 11 August 1978 through record label Step-Forward.

The EP failed to chart in either the UK Singles Chart or the UK Indie Singles Chart.

Background[edit]

Bingo-Master's Break-Out is the only studio recording by the original Fall line-up (Mark E. Smith, Martin Bramah, Tony Friel and Una Baines, plus Karl Burns who replaced the short-lived original drummer Steve Ormrod). The recording was financed by the Buzzcocks manager Richard Boon, who planned to release it on his New Hormones label; unable to afford it, he gave the tapes back to the band. The EP remained unreleased for almost a year, finally coming out in August 1978. By that time, both Friel and Baines had already quit the band, as did Friel's brief replacement Jonnie Brown who designed the cover art.

A fourth track, titled 'Frightened', was set to appear on this EP, but it was not deemed up to scratch by frontman Mark E. Smith.[4] A different recording later surfaced on the band's debut album, Live at the Witch Trials, and the original is now believed lost.

Critical reception[edit]

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the EP 'a good example of Smith's surreal vision, coloured by his relentlessly northern working-class vigil.'[5]
