Bol PartnerFactory Records was the most successful independent record company to come out of Manchester and its reputation and fortune were founded on two bands - Joy Divison and New Order. Factory's founder, Tony Wilson, established an identity and design style which was internationally admired. At the height of its success, in the late 1980s, the company was at the core of the rave scene, running its own club - the Hacienda. But by the 1990s success had gone sour and in 1992 Factory went into receivership. This book tells the inside story of Factory and contains interviews with all the key figures, including Tony Wilson and the remaining members of New Order.
