Notes

Compilation curated by Tim Burgess on his OGenesis label to accompany his 'Tim Book Two' book and which features 'Otis' by The Durutti Column.

"The compilation, 'Vinyl Adventures from Istanbul to San Francisco', is recommendations of the great and the good in life from The Clash chosen by one of The Vaccines to Willie Nelson picked by one of The Clash. No rules. Love sit comfortably beside Joy Division, Isao Tomita next to Duane Eddy. And it's unlikely you'll find an album with music by Fad Gadget, Tchaikovsky and Allen Ginsberg."

For Belgian Friends (Valuable Passages version)

Notes

From Strut Records: For 'Fac. Dance' we decided to focus on some of the label's early output, narrowing in on some key dance floor cuts that comprise some of our favorite 12 inches and late night classics. We were lucky enough to have involvement from some of the label's key participants, including iconic designer and cover artist Peter Saville. Our friend Bill Brewster of DJHistory.com assembled the compilation and contributes the liner notes.
