The Durutti Column - Another Setting 2xLP

Label: Factory Benelux

Limited expanded 2xLP edition on blue and green vinyl.

Factory Benelux presents an expanded vinyl edition of Another Setting, the third studio album by cult Manchester ensemble The Durutti Column. Another Setting was recorded in 1983 at Strawberry Studio, Stockport with production by Chris Nagle, a favourite engineer of Martin Hannett. The 11 track album contains several acknowledged Durutti classics, notably haunting instrumental "Prayer" (burnished with cor anglais by Maunagh Fleming) and "The Beggar," probably the closest Vini Reilly has edged to rock music. Elsewhere, "Smile in the Crowd" would be covered by Depeche Mode mainman Martin Gore on his 1989 solo project Counterfeit.

The vinyl remaster also includes non-album single "I Get Along Without You Very Well," a bittersweet Hoagy Carmichael cover sung by Lindsay Reade, the former wife of Factory foreman Tony Wilson. The second disc is a live show taped at the Pandora's Box Festival in Rotterdam on 4 September 1983, featuring eight tracks performed by Vini Reilly and Bruce Mitchell.
