Description & Specifications

Between the years 1978 and 1992, Factory was one of the most important record labels in Britain. It made artists like Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays famous, opened the legendary Haçienda club and the Dry bar, and introduced the world of music to the concept of high-quality, innovative design. The visual languages developed alongside the music, by designers such as Peter Saville, Central Station Design, and 8vo, are recognized and imitated even today. "Factory Records" documents the visual legacy of the company and its role in integrating design into the mainstream. Each item with Factory's famous catalog number is illustrated or recorded, including album covers, singles, special editions, flyers, posters, stationery, and architectural works. With a preface by Tony Wilson, the charismatic record label owner and nightclub director, this book fully conveys the energy, creativity, and excitement of one of the most dynamic (and chaotic) record labels of all time.
