Notes

Factory Benelux presents an expanded double vinyl edition of Vini Reilly, the acclaimed seventh studio album originally released by Factory Records in 1989. Just 1000 copies have been pressed for Record Store Day on 18 April 2020.

Produced by Vini Reilly and Stephen Street (The Smiths, Morrissey, Blur), the original working title of the Vini Reilly album was The Durutti Column Sampler. "People describe them as found samples and found voices," explained Vini at the time. "I always build up a catalogue of interesting loops and voice samples and stuff. Then I forget where I got them from a lot of the time, which is quite convenient... A lot of the time I manipulate the sample anyway, so it's singing my tune, rather than the original tune.

Stand-out tracks include Otis, Love No More and My Country. "The tune always comes from playing the guitar, added Vini. ‘As soon as I pick a guitar up I'll come up with a tune. I don't know whether it’s good or bad - but there's always a tune there.

The sleeve itself samples Bob Dylan circa Highway 61 Revisited, showcasing an iconic portrait by Mark Warner. Indeed much about the album flirts with mainstream culture, being a deliberate attempt to position Reilly as a 'pop' artist following his chart-topping collaboration with Morrissey on Viva Hate. This collaboration is further explored on the bonus 7" single (pressed in crystal clear vinyl), which features rare outtake I Know Very Well How I Got My Note Wrong and exquisite homage For Steven Patrick.

Bonus tracks on this 2020 double-disc remaster include several never before issued on vinyl, including William B and Red Square from the extended CD version of Vini Reilly, plus all four tracks from pristine performance CD WOMAD Live. Recorded at the WOMAD Festival in Cornwall in August 1988, the core Durutti duo of Vini Reilly and Bruce Mitchell are here augmented by Andy Connell on keys and Chinese opera singer Liu Sola.

The original album is supplemented by 9 bonus tracks on the second record. These include the rare Sordide Sentimental single Danny/Enigma and the three Durutti tracks from A Factory Quartet.

The remastered 2LP set is housed in a gatefold sleeve printed on matt reverse board, with liner notes and archive images. The package also includes an exclusive 7-inch single featuring live versions of Sketch for Summer and Requiem for a Father, recorded at Leeds Polytechnic in October 1980. These are the earliest surviving professional live recordings of The Durutti Column in concert.

For ordering details please visit the Factory Benelux shop.

The Return of The Durutti Column [Peter Saville Limited Edition LP/7"/CD, FBN 14]

LP/7-inch/CD: UK 06.2014 (Factory Benelux FBN 114)

In association with Peter Saville, Factory Benelux produced a limited edition of 10 unique copies of the FBN 114 vinyl re-release. Each features a bespoke abrasive paper seated beneath the Factory logo die-cut on the outer cover. Each paper features a different colour or texture, so that no two copies are the same. The package also includes a 12" square certificate of authenticity signed by Peter Saville.

The certificate and the inner bag on which the abrasive paper is mounted are printed on white matt reverse board and match the die-cut outer sleeve. The package is further differentiated from the standard 2013 release in that the inner bag features no text or images, and there is no sticker on the re-sealable polythene bag.

The special Saville edition also includes a postcard with a colour portrait of Vini Reilly taken by Annik Honoré at Palatine Road in 1980. Purchasers also received a complimentary slipcased CD copy of The Return of the Durutti Column (FBN 114 CD). The price per copy was 200 GBP.

This special edition is now sold out but the 10 papers available were:

1. Black - fine grit
2. Black - medium grit
3. Black - coarse grit
4. Burgundy rust - fine grit
5. Burgundy - medium grit
6. Burgundy - coarse grit
7. Green - medium grit

Notes

Bonus single issued with first editions of FACT/FACD 244 Vini Reilly. The recording is an out-take from the recording sessions for (Stephen Patrick) Morrissey's "Viva Hate" LP sessions with Vini Reilly, of which his "Suedehead" E.P. was sourced. The proper take of this track was a B-side. Vini plays a bad note and is heard to say "When they're duff they really are fucking duff" amidst background laughter. 3" CD was originally thought to have had two extra tracks - Red Square [3:12] and 'William B' [2:15] but there is no record of any editions having these extra tracks and so they have been removed from the listing.

A further, handwritten (by Vini) message reads: "This is a message - written in my hotel room - we have to leave in a few hours for England and we're very sad that it's the end of our tour. I just wanted to personally say thank you to all the people who came and listened to our music - thank you for all the kindness and friendship we found here, it's been great and I want to return here soon. To all those who gave us their applause - we give you our applause - we'll never forget our time here - with lots of love. Vini. x.x."

Noriko was The Durutti Column's Japanese tour manager.
