Notes

Cover photo features (l-r) Bruce Mitchell, Mark Broscombe, Vini Reilly, Poppy Morgan, Tim Thomas, Keir Stewart and Laurie Laptop.

The album opens with the 'In Memory of Anthony' which is inspired by Reilly's long friendship with Factory Records impresario, Tony Wilson who died in 2007. 'He always encouraged me to follow my instincts,' says Reilly. 'And that's still how I work. All the new songs are a very true reflection of my life and that's all I want any album to be.'

'Wild Beast Tamed' is one of several tracks co-written with Reilly's girlfriend, Poppy Morgan who also partly inspired the title of the album (a romantic nod to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel, Love In The Time Of Cholera).

However, Reilly's long-term friendships with Bruce Mitchell (himself the subject of an instrumental tribute, 'For Bruce'), Keir Stewart and Laurie Laptop were just as important in making the album possible. 'Without all of them I don't know how I would be able to carry on, on any level,' explains Reilly. 'And as musicians there's no one else I would rather work with.'

According to Vini Reilly, the "KC" who co-produced track 3 is an old hippy-type guy who has a rather ramshackle home studio.

Notes on the Japanese edition

According to Tower Records Japan, the Japanese title of Love in the Time of Recession is "Seihitsunaru Gekijyou". This is not strictly a literal translation of the English language title.

Seihitsu [naru] = Peaceful (or Peace and calm) ["naru" is a kind of a verb]
Gekijyou = Passion

So, the meaning of the Japanese title is really "Peaceful Passion". However, Japanese fans (or general listeners not familiar with The Durutti Column) may love this title, recession or not.

A handwritten message from Vini Reilly in the Japanese edition booklet reads "To all our Japanese friends, thank you for being so loyal and patient with us and for continuing to listen to our music. We hope to visit Japan again soon - beautiful country, beautiful people. Love from Vini. X.

Extra special thanks to Telle for Japanese notes.
