Notes

'Our Lady of the Angels' also appears on Time Was Gigantic / Reissued Experiments [FACDR 2.41], the Factory Once reissue of Domo Arigato [FACDO 144] and the Factory US compilation 'Young Popular and Sexy'.
DV8 is an experimental dance troupe led by Lloyd Newson; the video to When The World is quite an avant garde affair featuring the DV8 dancers. Bruce Mitchell has a cameo walking across a bridge.

A note on the CD Video edition from Rob Stanzel's Fac 2.26 The Durutti Column website FAQ reads:

"Q: How do I play the When The World CD-Video?

"A: You probably can't. CDVs were a short-lived late-1980s hybrid format: digital audio CD tracks with one analog video track appended. (This is distinct from the more recent Video CD format, which is mediocre-quality compressed digital video on a CD.) You need old-style laserdisc player capability to view the CDV video track and what's more, When The World was a UK issue so the analog encoding is in a particular format, PAL.

"Now, laserdisc players were fairly big in Japan and were a reasonably-sized videophile market in the US, both of which use NTSC format rather than PAL. Multi-format players exist but are extremely rare, and I'm led to believe that PAL LD players are quite uncommon even in the UK & other PAL-using countries, so the videotape releases (on which the WtW video track is longer, btw) are your best bet."
