Factory: Manchester from Joy Division to Happy Mondays (Documentary DVD)
Excellent documentary about Factory Records, thanks to cEnda for this one.
Factory Records was a Manchester based British independent record label, started in 1978, which featured several prominent musical acts on its roster such as Joy Division, New Order, A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, Happy Mondays, and (briefly) James and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Like the label 4AD Records, Factory Records used a creative team (most notably record producer Martin Hannett and graphic designer Peter Saville) which gave the label, and the artists recording for it, a particular sound and image.
The label employed a unique cataloguing system that gave a number not just to its musical releases, but to artwork and other objects.
