The Return of the Durutti Column begins with the sound of a bird - "’Sketch for Summer’ was made up in the studio because Martin managed to get these bird noises on the synthesiser," Viny Reilly recalled.
The track remains one of the pair’s most majestic pieces with Reilly’s distinctive classical guitar arpeggios suspended in space by Martin Hannett’s electronic trickery. The delay and reverb Hannett had used to such stunning effect on Unknown Pleasures created space and warmth for Reilly’s ambient leanings.
"Maybe the punks will sneer and think it’s hippy noodling," said Max Bell from the NME at the time. But the spontaneity and free experimentation of a track like ‘Conduct’ deserves its place in the post punk canon alongside PiL’s ‘Poptones’.
It was Tony Wilson who had the idea for the sandpaper cover, following Situationist Guy Debord's book "Mémoires" also wrapped in sandpaper to destroy the adjacent books.
This new edition comes in a die-cut sleeve (based on Peter Saville's 1979 "bar graph" Factory Records logo), with a sheet of 11"x11" glasspaper attached to the inner bag (in tribute to the original Situationist inspired sleeve) and a bonus of Hannett’s experimental Testcard 7". This is pretty much an essential release.
