Description
This is the original, very rare "Return Of The Durutti Column" sandpaper LP off Factory Records in 1979, on vinyl record.
The Sleeve is Mint and the Vinyl is Mint. I picked this up from a collection while I worked at Amoeba Records. The record was the highest grade we ever saw for the Sandpaper LP and l nabbed it before it ever hit the floor. It has been one of the jewels of my collection and it is one of the best copies you will ever find.
FYI - this is the version without the flexi disc.
Good luck!
Recorded over three days in August 1979 on 8-track equipment at Cargo, Rochdale.
Mixed at Strawberry, Stockport.
Published by Movement of 24th. January Music.
A Factory Records Product -1979
It was Tony Wilson who had the idea for the cover, following Situationist Guy Debord's book "Mémoires" also wrapped in sandpaper to destroy the adjacent books. Gammer refers to N.H. Gammer, founder of Gammer And His Familiars, Reilly's first band. Rowbotham refers to Dave Rowbotham, the former DC founder and guitarist. Reid refers to Jamie Reid, who apparently wanted to title the first Sex Pistols album "Where's the Durutti Column?"
The covers were assembled by Joy Division, A Certain Ratio and others. While Ian Curtis did the gluing, the other members of Joy Division watched a porn movie in the same room.
