1087.0. "Factory Closing (allegedly)" by JURA::PELAZ::MACFADYEN (not the same as when I began) Wed Nov 25 1992 15:35

I heard a rumour today that Factory Records, home of New Order and the
Happy Mondays, has gone bust with debts of �2M. Anyone know anything about
this?

Well (sorry) Rod, 'tis true... The Hacienda and the other club DRY 201(?) are
ok though.



Such a sweet man that Mr Wilson.

    I heard the same rumour as well. I think I saw it on the Big Breakfast
    this morning. Apparently, bands such as New Order are up for sale. It's
    a shame really, some good stuff as come out of Factory.

    The first album was Movement. Not sure if the song you describe is
    'Dremas never end' tho', sounds more like the first track of 'Power
    Corruption and Lies' (which had some famous painting of flowers on the
    cover).

    Thanks. (i took my note out because I found an album jacket).
    It is in fact Movement. I am only guessing the first song is "dreams
    never end" because its the first one listed on the jacket. Its not
    listed as the usual "Side 1 Side 2" format. I'm going to order the
    CD (its like 9 bucks mail order). I haven't heard any of their later
    stuff though.

    Later stuff - loads better.  Get 'Power Corruption and Lies' and
    'Brotherhood'.  I love New Order, but hate Movement.
