2235. “Madeleine” by The Durutti Column

Fan video:

A second delightful bonus track from the 1996 reissue of The Return Of The Durrutti Column. Reilly plays with great passion on this one - one gets the feeling that he loves his subject.

Apparently, this was the B-Side of the “Lips That Would Kiss” single, suggesting the sentence “Lips That Would Kiss Madeleine.”

Again, no proof that Madeleine is a real person, but I just get the feeling she is or was.

As long as we’re paused here, here is another great interview with Reilly. The movie 24 Hour Party People was written about Factory Records, especially its founder, Tony Wilson.
