Story

A treasure trove of Mark E Smith/The Fall items consigned by Mark's family came up for sale at auction on September 13th:

Auction Page

I purchased as many of these items as possible - lots 374, 375, 380 and 388, at a total cost of £1,792 - which I am donating to Bury Archive Service (the Archivist has agreed to accept them). This will ensure their long term preservation and availability for the people of Bury. Please give what you can. Many thanks.

The French State would have bought Mark's archive if he'd been a French artist and put it on display for all. But in class-ridden Blighty, only posh art like opera gets the respect it deserves.
