More Info:

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. Alongside Joy Division, The Durutti Column were amongst the first artists to be released by Factory Records. Their debut album, produced by Martin Hannett, showcased the filigree guitar work of Vini Reilly, awash with reverb and early experiments with synthesizers. It would be a first album of a five-decade career, in which The Durutti Column would quietly emerge as one of the most influential acts from the Manchester scene and beyond. To celebrate the album's 45th anniversary, London Records revisits the album with new editions, with audio sourced and remastered from the original tapes, with vinyl cut at half speed. 2CD version includes original album, bonus tracks, home and studio demos, and early live tracks (33 tracks total). Features two home demos exclusive to this format. Housed in a special hardback tall storybook edition (dimensions 147mm (w) x 196mm (h)). Includes 48p page booklet, restored 1985 "cassette edition" artwork with textured "tall book" sleeve, and the exact textured card for the outer sleeve has been accurately sourced. Features three essays by The Durutti Column/Factory Records expert James Nice, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie and MOJO editor Ian Harrison.
