Notes

The first stand-alone vinyl single to be released by The Durutti Column this century will be released on Vini Reilly's Birthday early August 2020. 'Free From All The Chaos', was originally on the CD release 'Chronicle' presented with the unreleased track 'Number Three', from the same sessions, also includes the voice of singer/songwriter Caoilfhionn Rose a collaborator with the band over the past five years.

A series of releases originally on the KOOKY imprint will be re-issued for the first time on vinyl, including the very limited CHRONICLE album. 'Chronicle' is a body of work commissioned from Vini Reilly as an autobiographical project concluding with a series of live shows.

It will be released for the first time in vinyl format later this year.

A limited run of 750 copies c/w a Trevor Johnson designed sleeve on crystal clear vinyl.

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

'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.

Back cover reads (in English): "This music is dedicated to Japan for the love, friendship and beauty we found here and will never forget."

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.
