Off the back of his collaboration with Morrissey on the latter’s first post-Smiths album “Viva Hate“, the Mancunian guitar wizard Vini Reilly crafted what many fans hail as his definitive solo album as The Durutti Column in 1989. “Vini Reilly” includes some of his best-loved tracks like ‘People’s Pleasure Park’, ‘Otis’ and ‘Requiem Again’.
This thirty-fifth anniversary edition comes with a welter of bonus tracks, including the “Womad Live” EP from the same year, plus a DVD of a live show in Porto in 1988, and is presented in the famous ‘rejected sleeve’ from the then-influential London design company 8vo.
