"US 80s 90s" is a Mark E. Smith and Brix Smith co-write from Bend Sinister, the Fall's ninth studio album, issued by Beggars Banquet in September 1986. Smith takes the vocal while Brix and Craig Scanlon work the guitars, Steve Hanley holds down the bass, Simon Rogers adds keyboards and Simon Wolstencroft sits behind the kit, brought in as the permanent drummer after Karl Burns was sacked just before the sessions began.
John Leckie produced, his third Fall record and his last, and the sessions were a tug of war. Smith grumbled that Leckie buried everything under psychedelic effects; Leckie dug in when Smith demanded tracks be mastered from a cassette he'd been carrying around and playing on his Walkman. Plenty of the album ended up cut from that tape anyway, which is about as Fall as a studio story gets.
