The Durutti Column   Short Stories For Pauline
   

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 Crépuscule collection Hommage à 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 Crépuscule 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.

Just 1000 copies of the album were pressed worldwide.
This one is like new. Has just been opened and played once, the MP3 code downloaded and stored away.

I do not have the time to describe every speck or mark on any sleeve. If you require specific information or have further questions please ask me.

Here is the guide from Record Collector publications for reference.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

All records will benefit from you giving them a good clean.
