Mr Manchester and the Factory Girl: The Story of Tony and Lindsay Wilson

Product Information

It tells the story of Factory Records’ formative years from 1978 – 1982, exploring how contemporary post-industrial Manchester allowed the label to spearhead innovation in the fields of music, technology and design, giving the city an authentic voice and distinctive identity. That was the main thing that irked me about the book (and it happens throughout the second half of the book).

Founded by Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus, the label played an influential part in the city’s transformation from an industrial powerhouse to a beacon of art and culture by reclaiming its past and leading a new wave of creative industries, a move that continues to influence the city’s culture today.Reade, Lindsay (15 August 2016).

Very often bands have survived the loss of a very fundamental member like that – Manic Street Preachers or whatever – something else may just come of this. Of course, I was proved pretty damn wrong as soon as Ian Brown opened his mouth later that night. I think it was obvious that it was all over. a b "52nd Street - Chart History: Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs". Billboard. Archived from the original on 26 April 2016 .
