Factory Records was a very influential label from Manchester, if you're a fan of any 80's music, you've heard at least one band from that label

Mr. Erasmus seems to be on some Al Haymon time, all I can find about him is his professional and charity work

I've always thought this was interesting, a teenage Drinky Crow was proud as fukk finding out a breh was partly responsible for bringing all these bands to the forefront:



(the breh is Donald Johnson, he's drumming in this track)

You can hear him talk for a bit here

Wow, I haven't heard Factory Records mentioned in a long while. Cool story and thanks for memories.

 

[SupaDupaCool]

Wow. Amazing fun fact. Post punk is easily one of my favorite music genres

Love some Durutti Column:


Think Vini Reilly should have done another album with Morrissey.

 

[Neuromancer]

Great find.
