Strut present
an essential new retrospective of Factory Records, the seminal Manchester
club-turned-record label set up by Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus.Compiled by
Bill Brewster of djhistory.com, the album places the spotlight on some of the
label’s early dancefloor-based work across key 12” mixes and rarities, from the
unmistakeable productions of Martin Hannett to more unheralded backroom work by
New Order’s Bernard Sumner and A Certain Ratio drummer Donald Johnson, under
their BeMusic and DoJo monikers.
