Reininger, this poignant instrumental proved - ironically - to be the downfall of the album, after Factory founder (and Durutti manager) Tony Wilson insisted that Duet form the basis of an entire neo-classical album. As a result, Duet became Without Mercy in 1984, and Short Stories for Pauline was shelved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther guest musicians on the album include drummer Alain Lefebvre, harpist Anne van den Troost and sax player Eric Sleichim.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FACTORY BENELUX","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":53991719469383,"sku":"TRI-74042","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/The-Durutti-Column-Short-Stories-For-Pauline-600x600.jpg?v=1779699990","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/the-durutti-column-short-stories-for-pauline","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
