Factory: Manchester From Joy Division To Happy Mondays

There's something comforting about hearing a story retold again and again. Perhaps this is why religion is so popular but as an atheist I wouldn't know... I remember my grandmother telling the same half dozen stories over and over - who could tire of hearing that Ronnie Corbett was a cunt when she met him...

Anyways, the latest telling of the Factory Records story is a real cracker - probably the definitive documentary on Factory and one that is unlikely to be bettered now that Anthony H. Wilson is no longer with us...
