--

LTM presents the belated full release of Short Stories For Pauline, the legendary 'lost' fourth album by cult Manchester group The Durutti Column.

Originally recorded by Vini Reilly in Brussels for Factory Benelux in 1983, the 14 track album features several exquisite pieces including College, A Room In Southport and, most notably, Duet. Recorded with Tuxedomoon viola player Blaine L. Reininger, this poignant instrumental proved -ironically- to be the downfall of the album, after Factory director (and Durutti manager) Tony Wilson insisted that Duet form the basis of an entire neo-classical album. As a result, Duet became Without Mercy in 1984, and Short Stories For Pauline was shelved.

Although individual tracks have appeared on several compilations, notably highbrow Crépuscule collection Hommage A Marguerite Duras, this is the first time the original 'FBN 36' album has appeared in its entirety. With new artwork prepared with the help of Crépuscule designer Benoît Hennebert, this set comes with Live In Bruxelles 13.8.1981 (originally release as LTMCD 2499) as a bonus CD.

Notes

From LTM:

"Founded in late 1978, early Factory releases were guided by the five original directors: Tony Wilson, Alan Erasmus, Peter Saville, Martin Hannett and Rob Gretton. By 1984 Hannett had departed, and many Factory singles were produced by all four members of New Order under the generic name Be Music. These reflected the influence of New York dance and electro music, though the label's Haçienda nightclub was not yet a conspicuous success. Meanwhile the artier side of Factory remained evident in records by The Durutti Column and Kalima, and pop/rock in The Wake, Stockholm Monsters - and New Order themselves."

"The 77 minute remastered CD features several rare edits and tracks, detailed liner notes by James Nice, and archive images."

Available now from LTM Mail Order.

The Nov/Dec 1986 isssue of The Catalogue lists a DAT format release (FACT 154D) as planned for 1987.

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.

The contents were to be:

At First Sight * (4:15)

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.
