FAC14C Flexi Disc: Durutti Column – The Return Of The Durutti Column| Other Products

USD 69.00
Other Products / General Merchandise / Other Products
The legendary “Test Card” flexi-disc issued in 1979 alongside the first pressings of The Durutti Column’s debut album, The Return of The Durutti Column (FACT 14). Pressed by Lyntone, this 7” flexi featured two electronic tracks by Martin Hannett, Factory Records’ visionary producer:

The First Aspect of the Same Thing

The Second Aspect of the Same Thing

The album itself was issued in the now-mythic sandpaper sleeve, a Situationist-inspired gesture designed to physically scratch other records in a collection. Alongside that radical packaging, this flexi added another layer of Factory’s experimental ethos, with Hannett’s minimalist electronics offering a window into the sound experiments that shaped Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, and countless others.
Though the sandpaper sleeve has become iconic, the Test Card flexi is equally coveted, especially when separated from its fragile original packaging.
Format: 7” flexi-disc
Catalogue number: FAC 14C

All items in this Collection are shipped from the UK.
