Shift-Work from April 1991 is another commercial Fall high-water mark; it contains Idiot Joy Showland, Smith's rant against bandwagon-jumping Madchester bands ("The shapeless kecks flapping up a storm, look at what they are: a pack of worms."), the one-time album title track, The War Against Intelligence, and the bucolic Edinburgh Man, a love letter to Mark E. Smith's then-adopted home city.
This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1991 Fontana Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
