Durutti Column - Short Sories About Pauline (Unreleased Factory Album)

Short Stories About Pauline was scheduled to be released in 1984 on Factory Benelux and allocated catelogue no. FBN36. As a whole piece, it fits well between the classic Another Setting LP and the sessions which produced Say What You Mean EP, Without Mercy LP and the lush Circuses and Bread LP, in what was an extremely productive period for Vini Reilly.

Rumour is that it was shelved in 1985, as Factory wanted to concentrate on the Domo Arigato live release, which was to be exclusively on a new format, the compact disc. A more realistic theory is that it was to have a been a filler release prior to the Without Mercy concept but got lost in the myre following significant delays with the sleeve of Without Mercy.

Tracks from this shelved project have been subsequently released on out-take and demo compilations, but here they are in their entirity.
