Milk that fucker ....

Side 14 looks tasty but nothing most wont already have.

Agree that Factory output is a tad overrated, a sacred cow its become ‘un-Mancunian’ to criticise.

For me, there’s no need to go beyond the 2 hour Essential Mix that was put together and broadcast in tribute to Wilson’s passing. This has the key material.
One to download before it gets taken down, which I can see maybe happening with these new releases...

Top that.

A lad I know from Blackley has every Factory listed record ever released.
About 10 years ago he did an exhibition upstairs at the Ducie Arms in town near Victoria Station with proceeds going to The Christie Hospital.
He tried in 2018 to put it all on display for the 40th anniversary but no venue in the city would / could house it all. Criminal.
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for...
