Send me a lullaby

"As the reviewer below said, this album is just a re-issue of 1987's "Live at the Bottom Line". The sound quality isn't a big improvement over the original release, and despite the buying info, there are no bonus tracks. However, live performances always have been an important part of DC's oeuvre. For the most part, the songs here are taken from the album "The guitar and other machines", but it's hard to reproduce the complicated and powerful sound of this album on stage. Except for some extended versions of DC classics like "Jacqueline" and "Missing boy", there's actually no reason for buying "Night in N.Y.". The studio album "The guitar and.." also features four live tracks with a better sound quality, recorded at WOMAD. By the way, DC's rarities collections "Dry" and "Red shoes" were recently reissued in Europe."

"This was an early 90's release, when Factory Records was still alive. It is a must for any Durutti Column fan that didn't catch the Column in concert. The live version of "Requiem" is outstanding. However, the sound quality of this recording leaves a lot to be desired."
