I Feel Sometimes

A very happy birthday to Vini Reilly, born 4th August 1953.

I posted my first - and to date only - selection of The Durutti Column on 4th August 2022, to mark Vini's 69th birthday. A 13-song, 48-minute collection split into a vinyl-friendly two sides and spanning a decade from 1979 to 1989.

For Vini's 72nd birthday, I've expanded this Dubhed selection to 18 songs and 72 minutes, to neatly fit on a CD-R (if you're still into it).

The scope has also expanded to music from the last 30-odd years, including a song from Vini's last album of new recordings by The Durutti Column, Someone Else's Party in 2003.

Three years on from that post, I'm still discovering Vini's music, each listen revealing more layers and nuances, but all coming back to the fact that he is one of the most astonishing guitar players and composers of our time. 

Hope you have a good one, Vini.
