Vini Reilly double vinyl for Record Store Day 2020

Factory Benelux presents an expanded double vinyl edition of Vini Reilly, the acclaimed seventh studio album originally released by Factory Records in 1989. Just 1000 copies have been pressed for Record Store Day on 18 April 2020.

The sleeve itself famously 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 is further explored on the bonus 7" single (pressed in crystal clear vinyl), which features rare outtake I Know Very Well How I Got My Note Wrong and exquisite homage For Steven Patrick.

Bonus tracks on this 2020 double-disc remaster include several never before issued on vinyl, including William B and Red Square from the extended CD version of Vini Reilly, 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.

Chronicle LX:XL delayed

Here is an announcement from our friends at Kooky Records:

"The Durutti Column album 'Chronicle' is unfortunately delayed.

This is mainly down to the production costs involved and delivery schedule meant that we were unlikely to get it ready in time and/or provide an album at a price we would be happy with.

The band, label Kooky and distributor Cargo are very sorry and disappointed that it will not form part of the Record Store Day series of releases for 2014.

However...

It will be available soon and more details to be announced once they are available."


Full details of the eventual release will be announced here and at Kooky Towers in the fullness of time.
