The Durutti Column is an iconic English music project founded in 1978 by Anthony H. Wilson and Alan Erasmus in Manchester, England. However, it quickly evolved into a solo endeavor led by Vini Reilly. The project was signed to Tony Wilson's renowned label Factory from 1978 to 1992.
With their unique blend of post-punk, new wave, and experimental sounds, The Durutti Column has left an indelible mark on the music scene. Led by the talented Vini Reilly, the project has consistently pushed boundaries and defied genre conventions throughout its extensive career.
From their early beginnings as a collaborative effort to becoming a solo venture under Reilly's guidance, The Durutti Column has consistently delivered innovative and captivating compositions that have garnered critical acclaim worldwide. With their distinct soundscapes and emotive melodies, they continue to captivate audiences with each release.

New Wave / Post Punk

1000 copies with download. factory benelux is pleased to announce the belated release of 'short stories for pauline', the legendary 'lost' fourth album by cult manchester group the durutti column. originally recorded by vini reilly in brussels for factory benelux in 1983, the 14 track album features several exquisite pieces including college, a room in southport and (most notably) duet. recorded with tuxedomoon viola player blaine l reininger, this poignant instrumental proved - ironically - to be the downfall of the album, after factory director (and durutti manager) tony wilson insisted that duet form the basis of an entire neo-classical album. as a result, duet became without mercy in 1984, and 'short stories for pauline' was shelved. although individual tracks from 'short stories for pauline' have appeared on several compilations, notably highbrow crepuscule collection 'hommage a marguerite duras', this limited edition vinyl release is the first time the original fbn 36 album has appeared in its entirety. bearing the original catalogue number, and with new artwork prepared with the help of crepuscule designer benoit hennebert, this remastered vinyl-only edition in 2012 is a must for vini and factory collectors alike, and a priceless addition to the durutti canon.
