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
in which The Durutti Column quietly became one of Manchester’s most influential
acts. To mark the album’s 45th anniversary, London Records presents new
editions, remastered from the original tapes and cut at half-speed for vinyl.
This vinyl edition is printed on textured outer sleeve, with restored artwork and
new liner notes from James Nice.
