But there’s more to the legendary Manchester imprint and music culture institution than Joy Division, the late, great Tony Wilson, the infamous Hacienda club, and the whimsical assignment of catalog numbers: there’s the music, of course, something A Factory Box Set will positively teem with when it arrives January 12 in the UK, courtesy of Rhino [via Idolator, confirmed by publicity]. Spreading some 63 Factory favorites across four discs in rough chronological order, A Factory Box Set indeed includes a healthy sampling of Joy Division and New Order, as well as representative offerings from New Order offshoots Electronic, Revenge, and the Other Two. But the set also finds room for other post-punk heavyweights and lesser-knowns (Cabaret Voltaire, A Certain Ratio, Section 25, the Wake, Quando Quango), Madchester staples (Happy Mondays, Northside), and even a few folks who would go on to bigger things (OMD, James). There through it all is perhaps the imprint’s one true constant, the Durutti Column, who gets a track on each of the four discs. Factory buffs may notice the conspicuous absence in the tracklist below of ESG, who are reportedly not included here due to licensing issues. A Factory Box Set commemorates the 30th anniversary of Factory Records’ 1978 founding. Uploader: Wish-man Cat.Number of Uplaod: wishfac13

Thanx for the upload. A pretty good compilation indeed. I might have the entire library of Joy Division and New Order, it's still nice to listen to those tracks mixed with those of the other bands. I would have wished to find more tracks of The Railway Children and The Wake but c'est la vie!

"Without New Order there clearly wouldn?t be a Factory Records beyond the early ?80s. The unexpected evolution of New Order into a dance band would go on to be Factory?s greatest money earner with the band themselves hitting a creative peak with singles like ?Temptation? and the quintessential classic ?Blue Monday?. The success of New Order went on to bankroll many of the questionable acts that appear on discs 2 and 3. Given a fresh ear it?s understandable why the careers of Kalima, Life, Stockholm Monsters, 52nd Street and Miaow have long since faded into obscurity. Even with the rise of Acid House and Madchester, it?s clear that Manchester was not fully the haven of talent that it has often been given credit for, which is probably more to do with Anthony Wilson?s skills as a salesman than anything else..."
