   FACTORY RECORDS - FAC 2 COMPILATION A FACTORY SAMPLE VARIOUS ARTISTS

ULTRA RARE DOUBLE 7" GATEFOLD IN PLASTIC COVER FROM 1978

100 % ORIGINAL

 A Factory Sample, featuring Joy Division, The Durutti Column, John Dowie and Cabaret Voltaire, appeared in January 1979, and marked Factory's start as a record company. The double 7" EP, financed by Wilson with money from an inheritance, sold out its edition of 5000 in three months time, and generated a net profit to Factory of 87 quid. The label set up offices in Alan Erasmus' apartment, at 86 Palatine Road in Didsbury, to stay there until September 1990.
Factory's first main release, Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures LP was put out in May. The same month also saw A Certain Ratio's debut 7" All Night Party, and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's debut 7" Electricity. OMITD would soon leave Factory, to sign a deal with Virgin's offshoot Dindisc, who later appointed Peter Saville as their in-house designer.

 

PETER SAVILLE'S FIRST ATTEMPT AT SLEEVE DESIGN USING THE HEARING PROTECTION LOGO AS DESIGNED ON THE FAC1 POSTER.

I WILL ALSO INCLUDE VARIOUS FLYERS AS PICTURED FROM THE SAVILLE SHOW AT URBIS IN MANCHESTER AND POSTCARDS NOT BEING SOLD IN THE EXHIBITION BUT ADVERTISED LOCALLY(NOT FOR SALE).

PLUS 2 PAGE 1979  FACTORY NEWSLETTER (COPY) SHOWN WHICH MAKES VERY INTERESTNG READING AS DETAILS ALL RELEASES FROM 1978 TO 1980 & A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL HAND TYPED LETTER STEVE MORRIS TYPED TO RECORD COMPANIES TO PROMOTE THE RELEASE OF AN IDEAL FOR LIVING FOLD OUT 7" ANOTHER FANTASTIC PIECE OF MEMORABILIA......

SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION - SLIGHT CREASES BUT THIS IS COMMON AS THE STYLE WAS TO MIMIC  CHEAP CONTERFIET RECORDS MADE IN THE FAR EAST IN THE 1970'S.

THE RECORDS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION OVERALL. ALL TRACKS PLAY PERFECT WITHOUT ANY PIPS ECT...I PLAYED BOTH SINGLES TODAY HAVING NOTICED  A SURFACE (scrath) MARK ON THE CABARET VOLTAIRE SIDE. BUT LIKE I SAY DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY IN ANYWAY BUT BEING A COMPLETELY HONEST TRADER I FEEL NOT TO MENTION THIS WOULD BE WRONG, AS I HAVE BOUGHT FROM E-BAY IN THE PAST WHEN ITEMS DESCRIBED AS EXCELLENT WHEN FLAWS WERE APPARENT !!!
