REALLY WELL WRITTEN; Informative; Entertaining; and CompleteBy thediamondseaI read a lot of pop music histories/memoirs/biographies; and most are obviously rush jobs thrown together by busy journalists who lack the time or inclination to edit their work; with crappy punctuation and obvious mistakes and misquotes. The Brits are often the worst offenders: I dont know why; among other things; they render American voices into British slang--or why they love run on sentences and comma splices. Also; this genre of books usually employs a lot of recycled quotations and offers little new information. Thats okay; sometimes; but not when the book presents itself as serious or definitive.Maybe because I had low expectations; I was shocked by what a great book this is. Part of Factorys mystique will probably always lie in the web of obfuscation that Tony Wilson successfully spun around its creation; along with the confused and sad hagiography of Ian Curtis. This book doesnt claim to exactly set the record straight. Instead; I think its purpose is to tell the story of an interesting; complicated cultural phenomenon through the voices of as many of its creators and participants as possible--not just the Factory management team; a couple of superstar bands and Paul Morley; although of course theyre all in here; too. The wealth of insight all of these smart; dedicated people have to offer about their experiences then and now is astonishing and entertaining as hell. Many of them are still active players in the cultural scene they helped create; and their continued commitment to their work may be the best argument for Factorys integrity and enduring legacy.The author writes witty prose to match the quality of his subject and his sources. He put time and love into this project; and it shows. Even if you dont care about Factory Records; you will probably enjoy this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very DetailedBy Nathan L RodenbeckVery detailed account of an idea that couldnt be sustained unfortunately. Highly recommended along with Peter Hooks great book The Hacienda:How Not to Run a Club.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The Definitive HistoryBy Lypo SuckIf you are rabidly obsessed with Factory Records and much of its output; you absolutely need this book. James Nice (who runs LTM; a label known for its extensive reissues of classic Factory albums) offers an extremely thorough and well researched biography on Tony Wilsons horribly mismanaged but very well-intentioned; legendary Mancunian indie label. This should be viewed as the definitive history; as its not colored by Wilsons penchant for propagating colorful myths over the true story (however mundane or embarrassing it may be). Nices attention to every last detail is commendable; as are the extensive and revealing quotes and interviews. Nice delves deep into the darkest corners of the Factory catalog; taking care to cover the many obscure artists; like the Wake; Stockholm Monsters; Crispy Ambulance; and Swamp Children/Kalima; etc; and sheds lots of light on Factorys sister labels; Factory Benelux; Operation Twilight; and Les Disques du Crepuscule. So; its not merely a run through of the career trajectories of Joy Division; New Order; Durutti Column; and Happy Mondays; although obviously these artists figure prominently in the labels narrative. We also get the dirt on the Hacienda nightclub; as well as Wilsons other attempt at influencing Manchesters urban environment and youth culture; Dry Bar. Nices writing style is a bit on the dry side; but the book itself is quite readable; and I honestly couldnt put it down. Additionally; a wonderful visual companion to Nices book is Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album; which displays album cover art in chronological order for every one of Factorys releases. Get both and ignore all your friends and family while you hole up and immerse yourself in Factorys rich; wild history!
