This Leaden Pall is the fourth album by the English rock band Half Man Half Biscuit, released in 1993.
The album cover features a bleak overdeveloped picture of the now demolished Hale Wood pub in Halewood, Merseyside. In 2001 it was voted the 93rd best LP sleeve of all time in Q magazine.[4]
Anecdotally, lead singer Nigel Blackwell has referred to the album as their Closer.
