Factory Records was the pinnacle of British music in the ’80s. Hailing from Manchester, the record label published the works of such seminal bands as Joy Division, New Order, Durutti Column, The Happy Mondays, Red Byrd, and many more.
The Factory story was told in a movie from 2002 called 24 Hour Party People. Great movie, and a great soundtrack of course too.
One aspect of the Factory legacy begging to be anthologized is the incredible album and single covers and posters from the label. Factory had some of the top graphic artists in the business designing album covers for them. This body of graphic design is now available for all to see in a shortly-to-be-released book entitled Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album.
It looks to be a completely fabulous, hardbound, 224 pages of masterworks. [via CH]
