You wait years and years for a Durutti Column box set...

and then two turn up at once!

I've just ordered The Durutti Column 2001-2009 - a new 1000 copy limited edition 6CD box set that was released by Artful/Fullfill on 2 November 2009. The second Durutti Column box set of the year, this comprises all of The Durutti Column's recorded output for the label since 2001, namely: 

Rebellion [2001]
Someone Else's Party [2003]
Keep Breathing [2006]
Idiot Savants [2007]
Love In The Time of Recession [2009]

Rounding off the package there's a bonus disc of exclusive bonus tracks. A set of art prints of the individual album covers completes the package.

 

I've also ordered the CD of "Paean to Wilson" - the piece written for and premiered at this summer's Manchester International Festival and dedicated to the late Tony Wilson of Factory Records fame.  The CD isn't out "officially" until next February, but can be had now from the official Durutti Column site...  Can't find a cover picture for that one, I'm afraid.
