On this release the \u003cb\u003eF4\u003c\/b\u003e \"Heaven Sent\" tracks released on vinyl for the first time. They first appeared in 2005 via \u003cb\u003eTony Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e's project F4, as being the fourth version of Factory Records. Originally it was download-only release, \u003cu\u003eHeaven Sent (It Was Called Digital, It Was Heaven Sent)\u003c\/u\u003e. A six-track CD of personal dedications by Vini ironically the last piece is titled \"Anthony\". Originally this was commissioned for the MIF (Manchester International Festival) where it was premiered in July 2009. Vin had already composed pieces for Tony to listen to whilst he was ill in hospital and it was from here that the project developed. Triple-LP vinyl with one clear disc, one gold disc, and one black disc. Originally released in 2010.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Near the beginning of the final night of the Durutti Column's 70-minute international festival tribute to Tony Wilson, \u003cu\u003eA Paean to Wilson\u003c\/u\u003e, guitarist Vini Reilly announced that he wouldn't be singing: 'So you won't have to put up with my awful voice and schoolboy lyrics.' If Wilson was with us, he would have chuckled. The Granada presenter-turned-Factory Records boss spent years urging his first signing to stop singing, and concentrate on the virtuosity that led \u003cb\u003eRed Hot Chili Pepper\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eJohn Frusciante\u003c\/b\u003e to call Reilly 'the greatest guitarist in the world'. Two years after his death, Wilson got his way, one of many lovely touches in a very personal, emotional and often warmly funny musical tribute. Wilson signed \u003cb\u003eJoy Division\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eHappy Mondays\u003c\/b\u003e, yet never gave up on this cult band he adored, working with them even after his legendary label went bankrupt. A complex man, Wilson was an academic thinker who reveled in \u003cb\u003eSteve Coogan\u003c\/b\u003e's affectionate, \u003cb\u003eAlan Partridge\u003c\/b\u003e-style send-up of him. And this tribute was no different. At one point, Reilly known for melancholy launched into something resembling an Irish jig. 'Tony loved to laugh,' he explained. 'He loved absurdities.' After the humor came exquisitely mournful music. With Reilly and drummer \u003cb\u003eBruce Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e augmented by bass, keyboard, violin, electric piano, drum machine and trumpet, the band's beautiful pieces reflected Wilson's love of rock and classical. Reilly's plangent guitar work showed grief's emotional spectrum, from sadness to overdriven anger...\" --\u003cb\u003eDave Simpson\u003c\/b\u003e, The Guardian\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"track\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e01.
