"It's A Curse" belongs to The Infotainment Scan, the Fall's 15th album, which arrived in 1993 on Permanent in the UK and on Matador in America, the band's first official US release since Extricate in 1990. Mark E. Smith and Craig Scanlon share the writing credit, and Rex Sargeant produced it.
The album caught the Fall at an unlikely high. At the time it was reckoned the most approachable record they had ever made, the press was paying them more attention than ever before, and it went in at number 9 on the UK Albums Chart, the best showing any Fall album ever managed. Alongside the originals sat a cover of Sister Sledge's disco number "Lost in Music" and a take on Steve Bent's obscure "I'm Going to Spain".
