The Return of the Durutti Column Black VinylThe Return of The Durutti Column marked the beginning of a fivedecade career in which The Durutti Column quietly became one of Manchesters most influential acts.The album is a hauntingly intimate debut from Vini Reilly fragile, otherworldly, and quietly radical. With producer Martin Hannetts signature studio alchemy, Reillys delicate, filigree guitar work is wrapped in ambient haze, postpunk reverb, and glacial electronics. The result is a sparse yet emotionally saturated soundscape, where minimalism meets affecting atmospherics.To mark the albums 45th anniversary, London Records presents new editions, remastered from the original tapes the first edition to do so since 1980 and cut at halfspeed for vinyl.This edition comes with new liner notes by The Durutti Column author James Nice, author of The Durutti Column A Life of Riley and Shadowplayers The Rise and Fall of Factory Records.Product notesThe outer sleeve is a print in four colours, with metallic gold details and text on a 300gsm single sided board.
