The writing and recording of Sex And Death closed an uncertain period for Vini Reilly and the group following the collapse of Factory Records in 1992. Factory founder Tony Wilson remained in post as manager of the band, but Sex And Death would be the band's last album with producer Stephen Street, famed for his work with Morrissey, The Smiths and Blur.
 
Writer and master guitarist Vini Reilly remained philosophical. “People say the Durutti Column is this or that. I don’t care, so long as we make good music. There’s screaming feedback on some tracks, heavy metal guitar, Spanish picking. It’s not just this ethereal trip. Don’t listen to the form, never listen to the form. Listen to the content.”
 
All 5 bonus tracks on the vinyl edition are previously unreleased, having been retrieved from a long-lost DAT demo tape located in Tony Wilson’s personal archive. 
 
Re-mastered by Peter Beckmann at Technology Works.
