FACT 204d The Guitar and Other Machines was the first ever commercially available DAT. The VHS video is identical to the Fac 194 video, but housed in a generic Media Communication case. It was probably used to promote the album. The label reads: '24.10.87 Factory Communications Ltd., FACT 204 Durutti Column'. Thanks to Andrea Bianco for the excellent imagery.
