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'.”

Liner notes by Bruce Mitchell

All Durutti gigs, and there haven't been that many of them for God's sake, have trauma and difficulty built into them from the day they are booked. Can we get the musicians we want? Can all the random factors that cause the hiccups with our ever more complicated midi'd up backline be eradicated? Are we going to get enough time to bloody well set it all up?

Vin won't do a gig without introducing new songs. 'Boring' he says when it is suggested we play a set of songs that we all know and might be able to cope with, so rehearsals are arranged and gear is lumbered into our back room.

As the concert draws closer, and we are contracted to appear (and we are sue-able if we don't), Vini's health, ever precarious, is the overriding concern. I make the arrangements to move him about, I suppose, in much the same fashion as the mormon guard used to move Howard Hughes about. In the back of my mind I'm conscious that I shouldn't be forcing him along in his sometimes semi-comatose state but I cheerfully hardface the job along. I'm into all this discharging of responsibility crap, you know.

I no longer wonder why I'm going to all this trouble, because the music performance answers. That 70 minutes on stage consists of Vini changing the set list from the rehearsed arrangements, coping with the tuning, struggling with the machines, laughing at the cock-ups he's causing, but always playing those pieces with guitar and keyboard beyond anything I ever hear elsewhere.

On this show, Andy Connell, from some other group whose name escapes me at the moment, played some neat keyboard - that's him hammering away on the first track 'Otis', and him being clever on the other stuff. He's a good laugh, Andy. Probably knows what he's doing.

Liu Sola is an opera singer from Beijing. Her contribution was to emote in Chinese on a conductors nod from Vin on 'Otis' and 'Finding the Sea'. In Chinese, you note, we wouldn't want to start making it easy for you listeners, would we?

Vin suggested that I should personalise this product, I think he's feeling weird after his full cover photo on the current album, and wants now to spread the flak. It's not what was wanted from me I don't think, and it's not enough of a statement, but still, there were a few things to be said.

There were a few practical things to be said.

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.

Notes

The original Factory Records release in four different formats of an album also released in Australia, Brazil, Japan and Spain. Later reissued with extra tracks on Factory Once.

The original artwork was developed by regular Durutti designers 8vo. However, Vini didn't like the end results and the cover that adorns the final album was produced, with Vini giving the instruction to "do it like Dylan". 'Homage to Catalonea' is written as 'Homage to CatalonEa', with a big 'E' on the alternate artwork. The full story is detailed in the 8vo book 8vo: On the outside, published in 2005.

Notes

'Our Lady of the Angels' also appears on Time Was Gigantic / Reissued Experiments [FACDR 2.41], the Factory Once reissue of Domo Arigato [FACDO 144] and the Factory US compilation 'Young Popular and Sexy'.
DV8 is an experimental dance troupe led by Lloyd Newson; the video to When The World is quite an avant garde affair featuring the DV8 dancers. Bruce Mitchell has a cameo walking across a bridge.

A note on the CD Video edition from Rob Stanzel's Fac 2.26 The Durutti Column website FAQ reads:

"Q: How do I play the When The World CD-Video?

"A: You probably can't. CDVs were a short-lived late-1980s hybrid format: digital audio CD tracks with one analog video track appended. (This is distinct from the more recent Video CD format, which is mediocre-quality compressed digital video on a CD.) You need old-style laserdisc player capability to view the CDV video track and what's more, When The World was a UK issue so the analog encoding is in a particular format, PAL.

"Now, laserdisc players were fairly big in Japan and were a reasonably-sized videophile market in the US, both of which use NTSC format rather than PAL. Multi-format players exist but are extremely rare, and I'm led to believe that PAL LD players are quite uncommon even in the UK & other PAL-using countries, so the videotape releases (on which the WtW video track is longer, btw) are your best bet."

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.

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.

Notes

Design: Anthony Wilson and Peter Saville

Anthony Wilson explains the thinking behind the Factory catalogue number for this release: "It was only when we did the next album that we said 'Well what's this going to be? Well that one was 14, well this could be 24'. And the fact that the second album that Vini was on, was a four sides, with four artists. Two albums, four artists, it was like 'Oh look, 24!' Four artists, two vinyl, how appropriate."

A boxed cassette release was planned (light green colour designation as per a Factory/Ikon advertisement from 1986) but never issued.

Notes

* Martin Hannett's 'Testcard' 7" flexidisc. (Shares the same FAC number as the album.)
** There were three editions of the sandpaper sleeve (total edition of 2,000): Some have FACT 14 sprayed on (in black or white) and the 7"; some haven't got the sprayed FACT 14 but the 7"; and some have no spray and no 7". (The sprayed FACT 14 was official.) There are initial pressings on dark-red (see-through) vinyl. Some sleeves (a smaller subset probably) are sprayed "THE RETURN OF THE DURUTTI COLUMN". Though unusual in the context of the whole edition, they are official.
*** With sandpaper insert.
**** Released as part of FACD 224.
***** Black sleeve issue is an additional mix (version) with less reverb & more phasing. Variable textured sleeves.
****** Otto is the name of the cutting engineer

Production: Martin Hannett
Design: Dave Rowbotham and Anthony Wilson (Sandpaper sleeve concept) / Paintings by Dufy (Black sleeve reissue)

Notes

The sandpaper sleeve is an homage to Situationists Guy Debord & Asger Jorn's Memoires (book, w/sandpaper cover; original edition published 1959).

There is a promo poster for the Factory Australasia edition, 30" x 40", designed by Andrew Penhallow.
