Released on 12 February 1996, "The Chiselers" finds the Fall at full strength and then some, with Mark E. Smith producing alongside Mike Bennett and Warren Bassett engineering. The credits read like a roll call: Craig Scanlon, Brix Smith and Julia Adamson on guitar, Adamson and Dave Bush on keyboards, Steve Hanley on bass, and not one drummer but two, Karl Burns and Simon Wolstencroft.

Smith, Bennett and Lucy Rimmer all turn up on vocals, and the writing credit is split five ways, between Smith, Adamson, Hanley, Burns and Wolstencroft.
