M is for Martin Hannett

One of the original partners in Factory Records, Martin Hannett was the label’s best-known and most recognizable record producer.  Known for giving Joy Division (and later New Order) their hollow, spacious sound, he also produced many other early Factory bands as well as Manchester acts like the Buzzcocks and John Cooper Clarke.  He even taught Pete Hook and Barney Sumner to use a mixing board, thereby springboarding their own production careers.  He remains the proud possessor of one of Factory’s more unusual catalogue numbers, FAC 61 (a lawsuit over financial matters), and his headstone declares him the creator of “the Manchester sound,” which, believe it or not, is a very real thing.

FAC 313 Joy Division - Transmission

—————-

Black and white version of Joy Division performing ‘Transmission’ on BBC2 'Something Else’. The FAC 313 number was allocated to the actual clip. However, the video was released to TV stations as FAC 400 to tie in with the release of the FACT 400 Palatine boxed set compilation. Promo video in custom Factory clamshell case with handwritten label.

Thanks to Mike S.

I wrote for luck, they sent me you.

I sent for juice, you gave me poison.

I hold the line, you form the queue.

Try anything hard, is there nothing else you can do?

always thought it was “order a line” but i’m wrong, you learn something new every day.
