Notes

Bonus single issued with first editions of FACT/FACD 244 Vini Reilly. The recording is an out-take from the recording sessions for (Stephen Patrick) Morrissey's "Viva Hate" LP sessions with Vini Reilly, of which his "Suedehead" E.P. was sourced. The proper take of this track was a B-side. Vini plays a bad note and is heard to say "When they're duff they really are fucking duff" amidst background laughter. 3" CD was originally thought to have had two extra tracks - Red Square [3:12] and 'William B' [2:15] but there is no record of any editions having these extra tracks and so they have been removed from the listing.

GREETING5 FROM S.G.V.

Originally Released by Materiali Sonori in 1987
® 2024 Lantern Records

LANTERN REC materiali sonori

Project by GIAMPIERO BIGAZZI

"Overdue re-issue of the first three 12” in the record series dedicated to musicians who took part to the Greetings festival. It happened in 1987, it was time for Materiali Sonori 10th anniversary, an historic goal for the label/collective born in the small Tuscany village of San Giovanni Valdarno. The small celebration brought to life a box collecting the first 3 Eps of the Greetings from S.G.V. series. The series was intended as symbolic sound postcard, made with various musicians with whom the collective label shared a path, whether small or long. The Durutti Column, The Stockholm Monsters and Blaine R. Reininger (Tuxedomoon) are among the artist who took part to the project, here collected for the very first time. Lantern is pleased to pay tribute to the work of people whose passion, attitude, commitment and genuineness inspired this adventure still true to these days. “Our presence in this small tuscan town is almost casual… physically we were born and grew up here, while our hearts and our minds were travelling to Paris, Berlin, Brussels, New York or London”" (Giampiero Bigazzi of Materiali Sonori, taken from the original inner sleeves notes).

"It sounds so sweet: Reilly's shimmering guitar spinning merry cartwheels behind Eley Rudge's angelic Harriet Wheeler warble, or basking lazily in pools of ambient calm. It's a smooth as porcelain, as mannered as a lily pond and as forgettable as your last breath."
