Durutti Column
The World's First Virtual Reality Sleeve

Vini has been quiet but will be releasing a new album but for the timebeing we have something to offer you.

Our offices are too small and we need to make some space. In the corner are piles of master tapes by all the classic Factory Communications Limited bands, Happy Mondays, Cath Carroll, Quando Quango and of course Vini. Behind those are about 10 boxes that are blocking out the daylight.

In the boxes are copies of The Durutti Column's legendary "Sex and Death" CD-ROM. We get a phone call every few days from somewhere in the world asking where they can get hold of this fantastic item.

Packaged in a emery paper sleeve, in homage to the first Durutti album "Return of...." This will be your only chance to get hold of this CD-ROM.

If you are interested in this please send your name and address and a cheque / postal order for £17.50 + £2.50 P&P payable to Factory Records Limited to the address above.

Please choose the format carefully to avoid disappointment. They are not interchangeable.

Vini's next album will be called "Time Was Gigantic... When We Were Kids". It will be released along with the other four major D.C. reissues in late Spring 1998. (Maybe).
