What I find intriguing with most releases that these groups, their family members, the people intimately behind creating, producing, distributing the original music or from the scene/sters that surrounded the music and the era, even so many years onward, is that there is still so much to be shared from the original days with those further afield, if not generations apart, who admire and find something to discover in even the slightest details or trivial facts and perspectives shared, about this era, the music and the people who created it. If you consider yourself a fan of this music and admire the legacy of Factory, I feel most readers and collectors alike will appreciate this release. Factory designs were paramount to its image and mystique, and I do wish this might have stretched a bit more in that direction with an attempt to fit in to the line up a bit more, but it digress as it's very nice all the same. The cover boards are somewhat thin for a book of these dimensions, but it certainly hearkens to Factory design aesthetics, if not on a budget, and it also blatantly recalls, Joy Division's Still packaging. This volume is elegant, but perhaps not as solidly constructed as old Factory releases were. I own and have read many Joy Division, New Order, Factory and related books and writings and am pleased to add this release to those as well.
