Levitate' is The Fall's 19th album originally released in 1997 on Artful Records. It's the last album to feature two long-time Fall members, drummer Karl Burns and bass player Steve Hanley (whose playing was once described by Smith as the defining element of the group's music). Following Cherry Red's Limited Edition Triple LP edition, we now present the 2LP edition released on transparent red vinyl for the first time. The album was initially going to be produced by Keir Stewart and Simon Spencer (who previously collaborated with Smith under the moniker D. O. S. E. on the 1995 single 'Plug Myself In'). Most of the recordings took place at Edwyn Collins' studio in West Hampstead. However, Stewart and Spencer soon fell out with Smith over payments and left after a week, taking most of the tapes with them. The only tracks from these sessions to make the album were "4 1/2 Inch" (allegedly edited out of samples of a rehearsal recording), 'Spencer', later re-dubbed by Smith as 'Spencer Must Die', and 'The Quartet of Doc Shanley'. This re-issue was re-mastered by long term Fall engineer Andy Pearce and features sleeve notes by Daryl Easlea.
