The Durutti Column is Vini Reilly on guitar and Martin Hannett on switches
Recorded at Cargo, Rochdale, Mixed at Strawberry, Stockport
Engineers Chris Nagle and John Brierley
All tracks written by Vini Reilly and produced by Martin Hannet.
Thanks are also due to Pete Crooks, bass and Toby, drums. Gammer for
his melody and Rowbotham, Reid and Debord for the sandpaper packaging concept.
Recorded over three days in August 1979 on 8-track equipment at Cargo, Rochdale.
Mixed at Strawberry, Stockport.
Originally published by Movement of 24th. January Music.
A Factory Records Product, originally released in January 1980.
It was Tony Wilson who had the idea for the cover, following Situationist Guy Debord's
book "Mémoires" also wrapped in sandpaper to destroy the adjacent books. Reid refers
to Jamie Reid, who apparently wanted to title the first Sex Pistols album "Where's the Durutti Column?".
Rowbotham refers to Dave Rowbotham, the former DC founder and guitarist.
This new edition comes in a die-cut sleeve (based on Peter Saville's 1979 "bar graph" Factory Records logo),
with a sandpaper inner.
Tracks B6 and B7 were not part of the original LP release but are taken from 1980 Factory Benelux single
Durutti Column, The - Lips That Would Kiss.

The Durutti Column \ The Guitar and Other Machines [FBN 204]
Factory Benelux presents an expanded 2xLP and 3xCD edition of The Guitar and Other Machines, the acclaimed sixth album by Manchester ensemble The Durutti Column, originally released on Factory in December 1987.
The origin of The Guitar and Other Machines was the Christmas present given by Factory founder Tony Wilson to Durutti mainman Vini Reilly in 1985. "He gave me another kick and bought me a load of electronic instruments," revealed Reilly at the time. "I never dreamt of getting into this electronic thing, and I struggled and fought and stayed up til half seven in the morning and really worked on it. I know that Tony’s got this vision and I persevered. And I found a way of using a sequencer that isn’t like New Order – it’s my way, and it’s my music."
Produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths; Morrissey), the album also features percussionist Bruce Mitchell and viola player John Metcalfe. Remastered in 2017, this new FBN edition restores all three bonus tracks included on the original Factory CD, being experimental pieces written and recorded with Jez Kerr and Simon Topping of A Certain Ratio.
Reviews:
"Arpeggiator is a stunningly bold statement of intent - it's like the hitherto frail, musical Durutti corpus has been augmented into some six-million-dollar bionic body. Longtime Durutti Columnist John Metcalfe's viola, plucked and bowed, swoops over a scintillating torrent of synths, before the track erupts into powerchords and molten lead guitar. Tony Wilson had often despaired of Reilly's reluctance to spend more than a couple of days in the studio, but producer Stephen Street seems to have persuaded him of the virtues of a more diligent approach - it's like the home movies or chamber pieces of the early albums have suddenly been recast in cinemascope… This exemplary reissue augments the original LP with a number of fugitive pieces from the Durutti discography: notably the Greetings 3 EP, plus a handful of tracks cut in LA and released as the City of Our Lady EP - remarkable for a barmy cover of White Rabbit" (Uncut, 2/2018)
"The eleven core pieces (three with guest vocals) are as sonically adventurous as anything Reilly has ever attempted. While remaining inside the group's traditional parameters, this ambitious record increases his emotional reach" (Trouser Press)
"So named because of Reilly's choice to explore and use newer instruments, specifically a Yamaha Sequencer and a DMX drum machine among others, while also trying out new approaches with his guitar playing, first signalled on Circuses and Bread. Opening track Arpeggiator gives a sense as to the result. There's a more straightforwardly soaring lead guitar line; quick, gently perky synth loops; a heavy drum punch; additional strings; and other touches to fill out the busy but strong arrangement. While technology in general was no stranger to the band, these instruments and approaches were, resulting in a generally lusher record than most recorded by Durutti before it, with more rather than fewer instruments being the key motif while still retaining an economy of performance. Both Metcalfe and Kellett appeared on an album highlight, When the World, recalling the band's mid-'80s highlights while Reilly turns in a surprisingly loud, kick-ass solo, contrasting his acoustic work on the immediately following USP. Otherwise, a variety of other performers assisted the duo as needed, including producer Stephen Street, who sat in on bass on English Landscape Tradition, and guest singers Stanton Miranda and Pol (a high point of When the World who ironically enough doesn't appear on Pol in B). Rob Gray's mouth organ work adds a nicely rootsy feel to What Is It to Me (Woman) and Jongleur Grey, a notable contrast against Durutti's generally futurist approach. Continuing the string of excellent Durutti reissues, its 1996 reappearance included several other studio tracks done around that time, notably the moody and mysterious LFO Mod, which only appeared on the Valuable Passages compilation in the U.S., and Dream Topping, featuring a reunion with A Certain Ratio singer Jeremy Kerr. Concluding the reissue are four further tracks from a performance at Peter Gabriel's WOMAD festival, with guest appearances from Chinese opera singer Liu Sola and Swing Out Sister keyboardist Andy Connell, both of whom would feature on the Vini Reilly album" (AllMusic Guide)
"If The Guitar and Other Machines came to represent a change of tack for Durutti Column, it was neither planned or at the expense of Vini Reilly's original vision. Perhaps that's why it worked so well. Tony Wilson, who had been the band's leading advocate and fan since day one, supplied Vini with some electronic instruments as a Christmas present. He also applied a fatherly boot to his rear, as he thought it was high time DC became a little more successful, seeing as New Order had invaded the national and dance charts regularly with their sequencer and synth-enhanced efforts. So good (if not entirely altruistic) intentions were at play. Reilly worked tirelessly one night to master these strange items and by the morning had found a way to encompass the new sounds into something that was at the same time both fresh sounding, but still in the Durutti style... This new reissue gives a full view of the state of Durutti Column in 1987 - a time of change, but also managing to play to their strengths. Long time fans will be pleased one of their most fondly remembered LPs has been given this deluxe treatment, with the usual love, care and attention you would expect from Factory Benelux. A delightful way to start the new year" (Louder Than War, 01/2018)
"This album is a reminder of so much. Of long-lost singularity in new music maybe, and of Tony Wilson's near-suicidal tendency to the non-commercial. And, of course, Vini Reilly's filigreed virtuoso genius... The proto neo-classicism of tracks such as Bordeaux Sequence, and the skittering, glittering instrumental Arpeggiator, make for gloriously satisfying rediscovery. Extraordinary things happened on this album, things that for some have yet to register" (Electronic Sound, 01/2018) http://factorybenelux.com/the_guitar_and_other_machines_fbn204.html https://www.discogs.com/The-Durutti-Column-The-Guitar-And-Other-Machines/release/11393438

Factory Benelux presents expanded 2xLP and 2xCD editions of Vini Reilly, the seventh studio album by Manchester ensemble The Durutti Column. Originally released by Factory Records in 1989, the album has now been newly remastered with 23 bonus tracks including companion single WOMAD Live.
Produced by Vini Reilly and Stephen Street (The Smiths, Morrissey, Blur), the original working title of the Vini Reilly album was The Durutti Column Sampler. ‘People describe them as found samples and found voices,’ explained Vini at the time. ‘I always build up a catalogue of interesting loops and voice samples and stuff. Then I forget where I got them from a lot of the time, which is quite convenient… A lot of the time I manipulate the sample anyway, so it’s singing my tune, rather than the original tune.’
Stand-out tracks include Otis, Love No More and My Country. ‘The tune always comes from playing the guitar,’ added Vini. ‘As soon as I pick a guitar up I’ll come up with a tune. I don’t know whether it’s good or bad - but there’s always a tune there.’
The sleeve itself samples Bob Dylan circa Highway 61 Revisited, showcasing an iconic portrait by Mark Warner. Indeed much about the album flirts with mainstream culture, being a deliberate attempt to position Reilly as a ‘pop’ artist following his chart-topping collaboration with Morrissey on Viva Hate. This collaboration was further celebrated on bonus track For Steven Patrick.
Other bonus tracks on this 2020 double-disc remaster include a multitude of demos and outtakes from the same period (some previously issued on The Sporadic Recordings in 1989), plus all four tracks from pristine performance CD WOMAD Live. Recorded at the WOMAD Festival in Cornwall in August 1988, the core Durutti duo of Vini Reilly and Bruce Mitchell are here augmented by Andy Connell on keys and Chinese opera singer Liu Sola.
The vinyl version is a 2xLP set pressed on black vinyl with a bonus clear vinyl 7-inch single. The gatefold sleeve is printed on white matt board, with this edition limited to 1000 copies.

Info
Factory Benelux presents deluxe 2xLP edition of Obey the Time, the eighth album by Manchester ensemble The Durutti Column, originally released by Factory in December 1990.
Largely self-produced, and entirely instrumental, Obey the Time saw DC mainman Vini Reilly further develop his interest in electronic music, and even embrace house and techno stylings. "The title came screaming off the TV screen in somebody’s version of Othello and captured exactly the feel of the work in progress," explained Tony Wilson, Durutti manager and Factory founder. "We were in the middle of the Aceeed explosion. If you lived in Manchester, you were absolutely in the middle of it. Vini even explained why House made keyboards sound so fresh. Something to do with a chord being played with 3 or 4 notes into the sampler, but then different chords being triggered by a single key stroke. Creating mathematical harmonic relationships 'which Schoenberg had searched for but never found.'"
Indeed veteran Durutti percussionist Bruce Mitchell features on just one track, Art and Freight. Marking a further break with tradition, dance exploration Contra-Indications was taped with New Order programmer (and later co-manager) Andy Robinson. Released in December 1990, Obey the Time (Fact 274) would be the last Durutti Column album on Factory before the labelled collapsed beneath a mountain of debt.
The double disc vinyl edition is limited to 800 copies in yellow and purple vinyl, with the original 8vo sleeve design printed in pantone colours with matt varnish.
Sticker on shrinkwrap reads: "Deluxe 2XLP remaster of 1990 album + unreleased live concert from 1990 + digital copy, 800 copies only on coloured vinyl for Record Store Day 2019." https://www.factorybenelux.com/obey_the_time_fbn274.html https://www.discogs.com/The-Durutti-Column-Obey-The-Time/release/13487753

℗1996 Les Disques Du Crépuscule (on spine)
Les Disques du Crépuscule presents the first ever vinyl release of Fidelity, the 1996 studio album by cult Manchester ensemble The Durutti Column.
Originally released by Crépuscule on CD only in April 1996, Fidelity featured 10 tracks written and performed by Vini Reilly, with occasional guest vocals by Eley Rudge. In addition to Vini’s trademark guitar stylings, the album showcases sleek electronic textures and programmed beats.
This 2019 vinyl re-master features two bonus tracks: My Only Love was originally released in 1995 on a covermount CD with a specialist guitar magazine, while experimental piece The New Fidelity was issued on a Portuguese compilation album from 1992 called Hare, Hunter, Field.
Limited to just 1000 copies, this special double disc edition pressed in clear and blue vinyl features brand new cover artwork by Crépuscule design director Benoit Hennebert, based on a portrait by Vini Reilly of filmmaker Carol Morley. https://lesdisquesducrepuscule.com/fidelity_twi976.html https://www.discogs.com/The-Durutti-Column-Fidelity/release/14377854
