The Return of the Durutti Column is the debut studio album by English band The Durutti Column. It was released in January 1980, through record label Factory.

Background[edit]

Jan 20, 2020  The Durutti Column ‎– The Return Of The Durutti Column-Full Album Label: Factory Rec‎– FACT 14, Factory ‎– FACT 14C Format: Vinyl, LP, Album Flexi-disc, 7'. Skip navigation Sign in.

The initial two thousand copies also included a flexi-disc single with two tracks by producer Martin Hannett: 'First Aspect of the Same Thing' and 'Second Aspect of the Same Thing'.

The original 3600 LP sleeves were made of coarse sandpaper (similar to the Situationist book Mémoires), designed to scratch LPs which were placed on either side of it. The sleeves were assembled by members of the bands and label-mates Joy Division and A Certain Ratio. A regular printed sleeve for later copies was designed by Steve Horsfall. Some later pressings featured a sixth untitled track on side two.

'Sketch for Summer'/'Sketch for Winter' was released as a single (Gap Records SFA-491) in Australia, with a sleeve by Andrew Penhallow of Gap.^[1]

In 2013 a modified version was issued as a vinyl album by Factory Benelux (FBN-114) with an 11-inch square sheet of coarse glasspaper attached to the inner sleeve, visible through a die-cut in the front cover. The die-cut was based on the 1978 Factory 'bar graph' logo designed by Peter Saville. On this edition, the Hannett tracks were included on a bonus 7-inch single on hard vinyl.^[2]

The album was given the Factory Identifier FACT14 (Vinyl), or FACT14-C (Cassette).

Legacy[edit]

AllMusic called the album a 'quietly stunning debut, as influential down the road as his labelmates in Joy Division's effort with Unknown Pleasures.'^[3]
