As with Tom Verlaine of Television, Reilly has a distinctive style and he owes nothing at all to the sound of angry punk. In some form or other Reilly is still going today and the Durutti Column discography is expansive. The Durutti Column effectively became Reilly's solo project from then on drummer Bruce Mitchell and other musicians have occasionally contributed to recordings and live performances, and Mitchell and Wilson managed the group throughout their career on Factory and for many years afterwards. Reilly was the only member who remained, while Rowbotham, Bowers and Joyce went on to form, the latter two becoming members of some years later, and Sharp apparently quit music, dedicating himself to acting. Just prior to recording a debut album, the group broke up after a dispute about Wilson and Erasmus's choice of producer. The band played at the Factory club (organised by their managers), and recorded two pieces for the first Factory Records release, the compilation (a double 7' also featuring, and ). Rainford later went to produce for and Suns Of Arqa.
The line-up was completed, but only for short time, as Rainford was sacked in July, being replaced by, who also became one of the songwriters of the band.
