Description

It’s a story that the Science and Industry Museum is uniquely placed to tell. Factory Records was hugely influenced by Manchester’s industrial heritage, which we sit at the heart of, and was progressive in its use of digital and electronic technologies, which are again core focuses of the stories we tell here at the museum.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Wilson began to include the band on Factory's publicity material. They also appeared twice on his Granada Reports news programme. One of the great things about the band was how they changed perceptions of Manchester. Those of us that aren’t part of a London scene, ie: the majority of the population, we know how hard it is to be noticed. We know how London-centric the media and industry is, so to have the Roses come through really turned all of that on its head and that is a very valuable part of what they did. Indie [before the Roses] was quite grim, quite bookish and quite a stigma that you consumed it at home, alone and feeling miserable. So their debut album redefined indie as something that was quite communal and something that was celebratory. And that’s where they got a lot of their power from; it was tribal, it was a community and it redefined indie. So when bands like Oasis and Kasabian came along they were directly benefiting from this. They were very rooted, authentic and proud of where they came from. Stardom came to them rather than them going to stardom: which was very much part of what the Manchester music scene in the late ’80s was all about.Before I start the review of this book, which was first published in 2006 and reprinted in 2009, I should add that I don't know either author, and have only met the Omnibus publisher, Chris Charlesworth once, for five minutes or so, when delivering an Ian McEwan t shirt he'd won on this blog to his office. I pointed at this book on his shelf and asked him about it; he generously told me I could have it (not knowing that I'd go on to review it), and that was it. I was hooked. There were all sorts of darker stories as well, that they were doing all sorts of hard drugs, and there being fifty-two versions of the same songs, and all this sort of thing. And I think there was an element of truth in nearly all those stories from talking to the band. They never really denied it… Although the thing is you speak to one band member and he’ll tell you a slightly different story to one of the others. Everyone has a different villain of the piece. For Ian the villain is John, and for John the villain is, well, all of them really. It was obvious, really, the band relationships were falling apart. He made little money from Factory Records or the Haçienda, despite the enormous popularity and cultural significance of both endeavours. [9] Both Factory Records and the Haçienda came to an abrupt end in the late 1990s. [ citation needed] Lesley joined the Factory family a couple of years after everything got started. Lindsay Reade was there right at the beginning. Lindsay introduced her then husband Tony Wilson to a number of people on Manchester’s music scene, in particular Tosh Ryan, who headed up independent punk record label Rabid Records. Street were a British jazz- funk and R&B band formed in Manchester in late 1980. Throughout the 1980s the group enjoyed success not only in the UK but also on the Billboard chart in the United States. Their biggest and best-known hit single was "Tell Me (How It Feels)", released in 1985 by the 10 Records subsidiary of Virgin Records in the UK, and then months later on in 1986 on MCA Records in the US.

Had he sooner quit his broadcasting career at Granada, would have Factory Records and the Hacienda have survived a little bit longer instead of them shutting down by the end of the 1990s?Everybody after the first album thought The Stone Roses was all to do with John Squire, and I used to go round to people and say, ‘nobody’s getting it’. This band wasn’t about John Squire; this band was to do with the chemistry of Ian Brown, Mani and Reni, and their taste just as much as it was about the brilliant guitar playing and guitar heroing of John Squire. Their interest in music was so diverse.
