- | {{Template}} | + | {{Template}}'''Factory Records''' was a [[Manchester]] based [[United Kingdom|British]] [[independent record label]], started in [[1978 in music|1978]], which featured several prominent musical acts on its roster such as [[Joy Division]], [[New Order]], [[A Certain Ratio]], [[The Durutti Column]], [[Happy Mondays]], and (briefly) [[James (band)|James]] and [[Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark]]. Like the label [[4AD Records]], Factory Records used a creative team (most notably [[record producer]] [[Martin Hannett]] and [[graphic design]]er [[Peter Saville]]) which gave the label, and the artists recording for it, a particular sound and image. The label employed a unique cataloguing system that gave a number not just to its musical releases, but to artwork and other objects. |
