Notes

Suddi Raval, half of Together: “Emma was killed in the same accident that killed Jon who was my best mate. Well, she did the vocals on the Durutti track that are described as "Suzanne Vega" style in the Mix Mag review. Something else that very few people know is that the remix is actually unfinished. We were meant to finish it after we came back from Ibiza but as you know Jon and his girlfriend died and we were never able. Tony Wilson and Vini Reilly liked the track so much that they wanted to put it out how it was, to me unfinished but to them, being the artistic people they are 'unique'.”

Notes

The guest singer Debi Diamond singing on White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane cover) is not to be confused with the porn star of the same name.

According to Rob Stanzel's FAC 2.26 The Durutti Column Discography: "'Catos con Guantes' is a Spanish/Mexican phrase I encountered in L.A. -- means "Cats with Gloves... don't catch mice". I thought if I was Paco de Lucia I'd think the musician was wearing gloves." [Vini Reilly letter to Alan Macdougall, 1989/07]

The full Spanish phrase is "Gato con guantes no caza ratones". The spelling error has been retained on subsequent reissues for copyright registration reasons.

Notes

As well as appearing in various combinations on the various releases of "Greetings", all four tracks also appeared on the Materiali Sonori compilation Red Shoes.

According to Materiali Sonori, the Greetings Box was not allocated a catalogue number. Presumably this was because the individual components (3x 12" singles) already had their own catalogue numbers.
