… it’s finally here. For years I have searched Ebay for this record collection. It is a four disk set of the best of the Factory label – in my opinion one of the classic DIY labels in rock history. From 1979 to 1990, this was the Manchester sound. Happy Mondays, Joy Division, Durutti Column and This Mortal Coil – and many others – all came out of the Factory label with each album, single, video and event numbered. One of the Factory’s main impressarios – Tony Wilson – sadly passed away this summer.

This set was put out in a VERY limited release as CDs, LPs and 45s. The vinyl showed up yesterday.

I’m so excited. I think I’ll spend Sunday watching football and burning this.

Note To The Siblings: I’ve got my Christmas CD.
