This is the music that would provide the blueprint for the Manchester scene of the late '80s and Factory's heady later years - the Happy Mondays, James, Northside and the rest.
Compiled by Bill Brewster of djhistory.com, this album places the spotlight on some of the Factory 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.
The album also expressly documents Factory's strong links and cross-pollination with New York's 1980s club culture, as New Order joined forces with producer Arthur Baker, fresh from his pioneering electro work with Afrika Bambaataa.
