Mellow choice today.
Factory Records, Classical.
Cd box set reissue of the first 5 classical albums released in 1989.
Tony Wilson’s vision of bringing classical music to the masses.🤷‍♂️

Remembering Factory Records' Tony Wilson on what would have been his 73rd Birthday...

Might be time to watch 24 Hour Party People again!

Thank you so much, Tony...

❝ I got goosebumps when I walked into the re-created Haçienda. One of my first gigs was there in 1986, supporting my brother’s band, the Mock Turtles. There was no legendary last night as depicted in the film. I got my climactic speech for that scene out of the way with a clear head, then took half an E. It was – what’s the fashionable word – an immersive experience. We weren’t particularly well behaved. ❞ → theguardian.com/culture/2023/f

It's been twenty-plus years since I owned a turntable, but I have this album on vinyl.

Couldn't find a good picture online of the unfolded CD booklet of 8vo's gorgeous cover for Obey the Time by The Durutti Column, so I recreated it from scratch. Not really sure why. Wish I could print it big and frame it.

Peter Saville: The hunt is on to locate an object that truly qualifies as “a sign of the times”. In 1977, the first Factory club night in Manchester was advertised with a poster using the now-famous symbol of a health and safety warning, urging workers to protect their ears from loud noise. But the original sign used in the artwork is missing. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j

Of all the music that I loved when first figuring things out in the 80s I never would have pegged ESG as the band I’d eventually get to see multiple times. If their SF show last weekend *really* was our last chance to see them then I’m pretty grateful.
