FACTORY GAME PLAN
Second Half of '81
|
Description:
Factory
Game Plan:
Second Half of '81
140mm x 110mm release schedule sticker
This is an extremely rare black and silver printed 140mm x 110mm
release schedule sticker from 1981 - the halcyon days of Factory Records. I
suspect the label produced these for record shops and distribution so
that those in retail would be aware of the label's up and coming
releases.
The sticker reads as follows:
F C L (FACTORY RECORDS DIVISION)
GAME PLAN
Second Half of '81
July 1st - FAC 39 Tunnelvision "Watching the Hydroplanes"
August 27th - FACT 45 Section 25 "Always Now"
September 4th - FACT 40 Joy Division "Still"
September 11th - FAC 53 New Order "Procession/Gone Green"
September 18th - FAC 41 Stockholm Monsters "Debut"
September 25th - FACT 44 The Durutti Column "L.C."
September 31st - FAC 52 A Certain Ratio "Waterline"
October 7th - FAC 49 The Swamp Children "Honey"
October 15th - FACT 55 A Certain Ratio "Sextet"
October 22nd - FACT 37 Joy Division "Here Are the Young Men"
October 29th - FACT 50 New Order "Movement"
November 5th - FAC 43 The Royal Family "It Must Be Love"
November 20th - FAC 48 Kevin Hewick "Orphelia's Drinking Song"
December 15th - FACT 38 A Certain Ratio "Untitled" (video)
The sticker sports the Factory anvil logo, suggesting that it was first
used here rather than on SXXV's FACT 45 album.
The sticker has not been "used" and retains its peelable
backing paper, which reads "Fasson/FasPrint - permanent S-260".

HACIENDA DANCE FLOOR
May 1982 - June 1993
|
Description: Canadian Maple in 8-9 inch (tongue and groove) sections
Status: There was a whole dance floor once but no-one at the moment knows where the
other pieces are. Some lock-up somewhere.
Sprung Canadian Maple specified by Ben Kelly Design, and laid in April 1982.
These pieces of wood are filth-engrained, infinitely scratched and grubby. The photo
looks like chipboard but that's what fine quality wood looks like after History has
happened on it.
Continuous use of water to swab away the debris of the Hacienda dance floor in the
"mornings after" led to a certain amount of rotting. By the early 90's there was
lots of rotting, two girls had actually gone through the floor at one point and
patching-up was becoming untenable. A new floor was laid and some directors suggested, to
the amusement of the others that the old wood, once ripped up, be kept and maybe even
sold. A few dozen, wrapped in plastic with "Use By" gaffer tape, were sold.
Another good piece of business.

HACIENDA HAT
Winter 1992
|
Description: Green woolly "Bouncer's Hat" with yellow sewn in
Hacienda Logo
Winter 1992
Strange piece of clothing which featured an alternate typo for the Hacienda. It's value
lies in its obscurity and the reminder that one can't mess with history. The 1982 logo was
eternal and this rounded, post house, thing is just peculiar. But what a way to keep your
head warm when you're out there celebrating the Millennium.

FAC51-Y3 ADIDAS LTD ADDITION TRAINER
Fac 51-Y3
June 2007
First time on sale July 21, 2007
|
Behold, the FAC51-Y3. No, its not a late addition to the
musical catalogue of Mancunian record label
Factory Records,
clearly, but a highly limited trainer from
Y-3 (the brand created
by adidas and Yohji Yamamoto), devised especially to celebrate the twenty-fifth
anniversary of legendary Manchester nightclub The Haienda. The shoes design is
a collaboration between Peter Saville (the original Factory Records graphic
designer), Ben Kelly (the architect who designed the original Haienda
interiors) and Joy Division/New Order bass player, Peter Hook.
The trainers come in a custom six-sided, maple-bottomed box (the same shape
as the Haiendas dancefloor) and will be wrapped in four sheets of tissue paper
two will feature Kevin Cummins photography of the club in its late 80s
heyday, one will be adorned with Ben Kellys original design sketches for the
Haiendas interior, while a fourth will reflect how the space looks today.
A DVD documenting a discussion between Kelly, Saville and Hook sharing
anecdotes about the club, Factory Records and how they feel about that time in
their lives 25 years on will also be included in the package an excerpt
from which is being taken especially for CR Blog. (We will post it up here as
soon as we can).
The shoe, strictly limited to just 250 pairs, will be sold exclusively in the
Y-3 Manchester store for two weeks before it goes on sale in Y-3s Shop-in-Shop
at Selfridges London, Y-3s flagship store in Tokyo and other selected retailers
worldwide. Best save up though, the FAC51-Y3 will be priced at a cool 345.
Heres a pair of FAC51-Y3s sitting on an original slab of
metal plate from the Haiendas industrial-chic pillars with some wood from the
original dancefloor
