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\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl tracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA1.
