Description
The Return of The Durutti Column FACT 14 The Return of The Durutti Column LP. UK 1979 (Factory FACT 14) Original sandpaper sleeve w/ flexi disc.
Both cover and disc are in as new condition. I believe this copy to be unplayed. The vinyl is bright, glossy & clean with no, as in ZERO, scratches. There is one tiny paper scuff at the beginning of the first side, visible ONLY when tilted towards a bright light. This is 99.9% sure to have been a function of the record having been in the paper sleeve and having shifted a bit during transit. It is definitely not a result of the disc having been in contact with the outer sandpaper sleeve. For all practical intent & purpose this record is in factory fresh condition. Being conservative in my grading, and as I did not purchase the record new, I grade it Mint-. A very conservative Mint -, that is... It is doubtful a cleaner copy could be found.

MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON BOTH ITEMS AT THE LINK BELOW:
The first album by The Durutti Column originally came in the now legendary 'sandpaper sleeve'. This was a nod to situationism whereby keeping the record in your collection would physically damage your other records. Of course, the record could be fitted into an outer plastic sleeve and your other records would be safe. Sandpaper sleeve copies also came with a bonus flexidisc (by flexidisc kings Lyntone) Fact 14c entitled 'Testcard' and featuring two tracks written by Martin Hannett.
IT IS BELIEVED THAT MOST OF THE SANDPAPER SLEEVES WERE ACTUALLY HAND GLUED AND PASTED BY MEMBERS OF JOY DIVISION, AS THEY WERE PAID BY TONY WILSON FOR EACH COPY THAT THEY FINISHED, IAN CURTIS DOING THE MOST OF THEM, AS HE NEEDED THE MONEY FOR CIGARETTES....
Any questions just ask!
