Search and Destroy : Factory Records

I want!!!

This has already been delayed twice. Looks like it may finally be happening come January. The tracklisting is different than Palatine and in my opinion better. Complied by Jon Savage, essay by Paul Morley, and artwork by Peter Saville. I hope it comes with lots of extra goodies.

anyone following the cerysmatic factory board is probably aware now that tony's son found a bunch of factory master tapes in their house while clearing stuff out.. including section 25 and stockholm monsters (though apparently not the wake)

Young Detroiters dancing to "Cool as Ice" at 1:20 or so (do not miss the choreographed routine from the women in red and white tights):

"Start a Search and Destroy: Factory Benelux thread," I know.

bunch of old tapes dug up, even the grouchy 80s kids can't help but get excited

sorry if there's a thread for this already. those early furs tapes, Jesus Christ I'd like to hear those.

mentioned on the martin hannett thread

i heard The Wake for the first time the other day! pretty cool. on cd. i have never ever seen wake vinyl in my life. they really didn't get over here. i see crispy ambulance and lots of other factory stuff too. maybe i just wasn't looking that hard...

minny pops album i have was another late discovery for me. never saw their stuff either. lucked into a copy. now i just need to find their other 3 impossible to find non-Factory albums.

which ones you need Scott, I may know a guy

oh wait misread, minny pops. don't have those, never mind
