Notes

Les Disques du Crépuscule presents the first ever vinyl release of Fidelity, the 1996 studio album by cult Manchester ensemble The Durutti Column.

Originally released by Crépuscule on CD only in April 1996, Fidelity featured 10 tracks written and performed by Vini Reilly, with occasional guest vocals by Eley Rudge. In addition to Vini's trademark guitar stylings, the album showcased sleek electronic textures and programmed beats.

This 2019 vinyl re-master features two bonus tracks: My Only Love was originally released in 1995 on a covermount CD with a specialist guitar magazine, while experimental piece The New Fidelity was issued on a Portuguese compilation album from 1992 called Hare, Hunter, Field.

Limited to just 1000 copies, this special double disc edition pressed in clear and blue vinyl features brand new cover artwork by Crepuscule design director Benoit Hennebert, based on a portrait by Vini Reilly of filmmaker Carol Morley.

LTM reissue notes

Circuses and Bread was originally released on the Factory Benelux label in April 1986, and features ten tracks written and performed by Vini Reilly, together with drummer Bruce Mitchell. This expanded CD edition also features ten bonus tracks including compilation album tracks Verbier and The Aftermath, five previously unreleased tracks from the cancelled 1983 album Short Stories For Pauline, and the rarely heard 1983 single I Get Along Without You Very Well, a Hoagy Carmichael cover sung by Lindsay Reade and dedicated to her former husband, Anthony H. Wilson. The booklet restores the original cover design by 8vo. 19 tracks. 74 minutes of music.

Available direct from LTM and in good record shops.

Notes (additional)

FBN 36 was originally to have been an album 'Short Stories for Pauline', but was unreleased due to pressure from Factory Records in the UK. They didn't want this to interfere with the release of FACT 144 'Domo Arigato', Factory's first CD. 'Short Stories for Pauline' was shelved as Vini Reilly had recorded a new album in the meantime.

LTM re-release notes

New CD release of the classic compilation album released on ultra chic Belgian indie label Les Disques du Crépuscule on December 2 1981. Ghosts Of Christmas Past/Chantons Noë featured exclusive festive tracks from the international avant garde and new wave, as well as the celebrated Factory Records and Postcard rosters.

The album now features nine bonus tracks drawn from later editions of the album released between 1982 and 1986. These include seasonal contributions from The Pale Fountains, Antena, The French Impressionists, Mikado, Winston Tong and The Arcadians (aka French pop polymath Louis Philippe), as well as extra tracks from Paul Haig and The Durutti Column.

The booklet features original artwork by Benoît Hennebert and Jean-François Octave, as well as a facsimile of the LP insert featuring Christmas postcards, and detailed liner notes. The original 'bauble' cover art by Hennebert is widely recognised as one of his finest designs.

This new edition has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes, and features 70 minutes of material. Most of the featured tracks remain unavailable elsewhere.
