Further Information

Alongside Joy Division, The Durutti Column were among the first artists signed to Factory Records. Their 1980 debut, produced by Martin Hannett, highlighted Vini Reilly’s delicate, reverb-laden guitar and early use of synthesizers. ‘The Return of The Durutti Column’ marked the beginning of a five-decade career during which The Durutti Column quietly became one of Manchester’s most influential acts. To mark the album’s 45th anniversary, London Records presents a new edition, remastered from the original tapes. Newly remastered from the original source tapes for the first time since 1980. Essays and liner notes by The Durutti Column / Factory Records expert James Nice, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and MOJO editor Ian Harrison.
