Short Stories For Pauline

We are pleased to announce that Short Stories For Pauline, the legendary shelved album is set to be released, complete with original FBN 36 catalogue number, on 18 June 2012.

The album was originally recorded in Brussels in 1983 and was originally set to be the fourth album, after Another Setting, but was never released. The 14 tracks include College, Take Some Time Out and Duet. The latter was recorded with Blaine L. Reininger (Tuxedomoon viola player) but at Tony Wilson's insistence was pulled from the album and developed into what became Without Mercy.

Keen Durutti fans have tried assembling the album themselves from the various tracks that have appeared on official compilations including Crépuscule's Hommage à Marguerite Duras. However, this limited edition vinyl release (via LTM) will be the first time the original FBN 36 album has appeared in its entirety. New artwork has been prepared with the help of Crépuscule designer Benoit Hennebert and each purchase of the vinyl album comes with a free digital download.
