two singles added, "Bingo-Master's Break-Out!" and "It's the New Thing". In 2004, Castle Music released a two-disc CD "Expanded Deluxe Edition" of the album, mastered from the original tapes and with a vastly expanded track listing. However, the Castle Music reissue used a vinyl source for the three "Bingo-Master's Break-Out!" EP tracks, as the original tapes have been lost. The album was reissued on vinyl in 2016 on the Superior Viaduct label, and again in 2019 by Cherry Red Records as part of its Fall Sound Archive series. Cherry Red also released a three-disc CD edition with the same bonus tracks as had appeared on the 2004 Castle Music edition. Reception Live at the Witch Trials was met with a very positive reception from critics upon its release. Record Mirrors Chris Westwood described the album as "a rugged, concerned, attuned, rebellious jukebox", while Sounds reviewer Dave McCullough called it "an album of staggeringly rich, mature music, inner questioning hand in hand with rock and roll at its fiercest, its finest, its most honest, rock and roll at its naked, most stimulating prime." Robert Christgau of The Village Voice said he initially found it "too tuneless and crude", but later "played it in tandem with Public Image Ltd. one night and for a few bars could hardly tell the difference", concluding that "in this icky pop moment we could use some ugly rebellion." Allan Jones of Melody Maker was less impressed, being especially negative about the group's then-rhythm section of Marc Riley and Karl Burns. In a retrospective review, Tiny Mix Tapes praised Live at the Witch Trials as a "fully-formed, instant-classic debut album". Trouser Press said that it showed the band "at once leaning towards punk's directness and charging headlong into poetic pretension". Pitchforks Jason Heller stated that the album established the Fall as a musically "far more wobbly and toxic" band than their post-punk contemporaries. AllMusic critic Ned Raggett wrote: "That the first Fall album... would not only not sound very punk at all but would be a downright pleasant listen seems perfectly in keeping with Mark E. Smith's endlessly contrary mind." In 2018, Billboard ranked Live at the Witch Trials as the sixth-best Fall album; in an accompanying essay, Geeta Dayal wrote that "there were more ideas on this album than there are in some other bands' entire discographies."
