Artist:	DURUTTI COLUMN
Title:	The Return Of The Durutti Column
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	4M 521LP

"Despite the title, this is the debut album from Manchester's Durutti Column, originally released on the legendary Factory Records label in 1980. This album is a collaboration between guitarist -- and the only permanent member of the band -- Vini Reilly, and producer/keyboard player Martin Hannett (Joy Division, Buzzcocks). Though lumped in with the post-punk movement, The Durutti Column's debut is hardly reminiscent of what that term brings to mind. The Return Of The Durutti Column is a collection of guitar based instrumentals melding rock, folk, classical, electronica and the avant-garde. Absolutely stunning."

Title:	LC
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	4M 522LP

"The second Durutti Column album, originally released on Factory Records in 1981, marked the departure of producer Martin Hannett (Joy Division, Buzzcocks) and the addition of drummer Bruce Mitchell, who would remain a longtime collaborator with chief member, guitarist Vini Reilly. LC is as powerful as the debut, a fantastic collection of guitar excursions that transcend genre. This is also the first album to feature Reilly's speak-sing vocal style on a number of songs (including 'The Missing Boy' a tribute to the recently deceased leader of Joy Division, Ian Curtis). Another stellar album."

Title:	Circuses And Bread
Label:	VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	LP
Price:	$24.00
Catalog #:	VL 901165LP

"The brainchild of classically trained musician, Vini Reilly, who took the band's name and idea of putting their first release in a sandpaper sleeve (so as to 'destroy all other albums on the shelf', from the avant-garde Situationist International movement), but Reilly himself, DC's only constant member, was (and is) 100% Manchester. Releasing a steady stream of experimental albums on the legendary Factory Records (Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays, etc.) beginning in 1981. Originally released on the Factory Benelux label in 1986, Circuses And Bread was DC's fifth in a steady stream of excellent and experimental studio albums, featuring viola, trumpet, and piano interspersed with Reilly's stellar guitar work. Remastered in 2008." On 180 gram vinyl.
