When Strawberry Studios closed down the staff were busy clearing out the building. There were at least 20,000 copy masters from various bands and the artistes or their agents. They were contacted as to whether they wished to buy the tapes from the Strawberry library because they were clearing out. Mostly the artistes already had their own copies and said Strawberry should dispose of them. Some asked for the copy masters and these were handed over. The remaining copy masters were consigned to the skips. A colleague David Drennan was assigned the task of contacting as many of the clients as possible about their tapes. In the case of Factory Records, David Drennan remembers that they only asked for The Happy Mondays tapes and did not want any others. (see copy email ‘Dave Drennan’) Later I discovered that Factory Records had parted company with Joy Division/New Order. I felt that the tapes of Martin Hannett's work i.e. the ones he produced should not be destroyed. That is why I removed them from the skip and rescued them from landfill. When Warners were threatening court action I contacted Nick Turnbull (see copy email ‘Nick Turnbull’) who had been the owner of Strawberry Studios and who closed it down.

Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.

  • How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City
    Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 25, Issue 1, Pages 56–76 How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City Leonard Nevarez Vassar College Manchester, England, is among the most well-known cities today for the creation and celebration of popular music, thanks in no small part to the group Joy Division. Among the first bands to be associated with a postpunk aesthetic, Joy Division eschewed punk’syouthful rage and unrelenting din for an expansive, anthemic sound distinguished by its dynamic scope, machinic pulses, and by singer Ian Curtis’ssonorous baritone and existential lyrics. As the first significant band to sustain a career in Manchester, thus bypassing the music industry headquartered in London, Joy Division is also recognized as pioneering the DIY tradition that has famously characterized Manchester’s musical economy over the last four decades. The group didn’t achieve this alone; the role of Manchester label Factory Records is well documented, as, increasingly, is the foundation laid by the city’s networks of musicians, scene participants, and cultural institutions (see Crossley; Botta).´ Yet these local facts don’t quite explain the contemporary resonance of Joy Division’s Manchester roots for music fans and city boosters today. Perhaps more than any other Mancunian band, Joy Division are claimed to sound like Manchester, at least the Manchester of a certain era. That is, the group did not just originate from the late 1970s Manchester of deindustrialization, carceral housing estates, Thatcherism, and punk’s youthful refusal; nor do they simply illustrate a recurring Mancunian ethos of creative pluck and insouciant disregard for London’s cultural hegemony (Haslam, Manchester, England).

  • Boo-Hooray Catalog #6: Factory Records
    Boo-Hooray Catalog #6: The Factory Catalog Terms: Usual. Not onerous. Boo-Hooray is proud to present our sixth antiquarian catalog, The Factory Catalog. This catalog gathers pieces from the material history of one of the most forward-thinking record labels of the 20th Century. Renowned for inventive and genre-pushing music, innovative design, and a tongue-in-cheek take on themselves and the world, Factory Records helped shape the post-punk era as well as modern design and typography. Reflecting their deep involvement in the creation of not just records but an alternative music subculture, social scene, and aesthetic language, Factory Records gave catalog numbers to virtually anything associated with the label. Accessioning items as seemingly unimportant as stationery and Christmas gifts, along with more serious projects like their club and promotional campaigns, fostered the cheeky and self- aware personality that distinguished Factory from corporate labels and overly self-serious independents. This catalog includes the unreleased and exceptionally rare FAC 1 poster, the hand-drawn original flipbook by Robert Breer and William Wegman for the Blue Monday '88 video, and tons of original poster, flyers, and broadsides made for Factory Records. For over a decade, we have been committed to the organization, stabilization, and preservation of cultural narratives through archival placement. Today, we continue and expand our mission through the sale of individual items and smaller collections. We invite you to our space in Manhattan’s Chinatown, where we encourage visitors to browse our extensive inventory of rare books, ephemera, archives and collections by appointment or chance. Catalog prepared by Evan Neuhausen, Archivist & Rare Book Cataloger; Dominic Masi Jr., Head Music Archivist; and Daylon Orr, Executive Director.

  • 1 Chapter 10 the North and Europe in 24 Hour Party People and Control
    Chapter 10 The North and Europe in 24 Hour Party People and Control Ewa Mazierska and Kamila Rymajdo In this chapter we discuss representation of the North in two films, 24 Hour Party People (2002) by Michael Winterbottom and Control (2007) by Anton Corbijn. Each of them is a fictionalised biography of a famous person, who left his mark on popular music in the North of England. Europe played a major role in the lives of both of these men. 24 Hour Party People casts as the main character the music promoter and media personality, Tony Wilson (1950- 2007), known as ‘Mr Manchester’ due to his effort to build in his city a music industry independent from London. Control is about Ian Curtis (1956-1980), the lead singer of Joy Division, one of the most revered indie rock bands originating in the North of England, which was signed to Wilson’s record label, Factory Records. Our intention is to assess the meaning of Europe for these men, as it is presented in the respective films. Let’s begin, however, with presenting briefly the connection between Manchester and Europe. Manchester and Europe When we think about large European cities, particularly capital cities, such as London, Paris, Rome and Vienna, we almost automatically regard them as cosmopolitan. This is not surprising as they are amongst the most visited places in the world as well as being cultural centres, with artists from all over the world going to them in search of inspiration and contact with like- minded people. American writers and intellectuals such as Ernest Hemingway visited Paris in the 1920s, and London of the 1960s was a magnet for European film directors, such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Roman Polanski and Jean-Luc Godard.

  • A Clockwork Orange and Manchester
    A Clockwork Orange and Manchester Should you ever consider joining one of the scheduled walking tours around Manchester, specifically one with a literary bent, the chances are you may be told (I’ve heard it said more than once) that A Clockwork Orange, the most famous novel by arguably the city’s greatest writer, has “nothing whatsoever” to do with Manchester; the novel is set in an unspecified location, see, in the not too distant future. Having recently revisited the novel, however, I’m not convinced people should be quite so dismissive. Each time I’ve read the novel I have felt there is something in A Clockwork Orange that evokes something of Manchester - something difficult to pinpoint, something almost between the lines – and yet there isn’t anything within the novel, certainly in a geographical sense, which one could point to and say with any conviction, “This is clearly a reference to Manchester.” For example, most of the buildings have broadly generic names: the Public This, the Municipal That, or the State So-and-so; while the streets have been named after established, and generally British, writers (Amis, Priestley) or politicians (Attlee, Boothby). So where exactly does this sense of Manchester stem from within the novel? And if it is indeed so, why hasn’t Burgess been more transparent? Allied to the fact that Burgess’s fiction is rarely one-dimensional, the answer to the second question becomes apparent once we understand what the novel is actually about, with its pointedly non-specific setting serving a clear purpose, as Andrew Biswell explains in his acclaimed biography of Burgess: The novel consistently refuses to make it clear whether the action is supposed to take place in England, mainland Europe, or somewhere in the former USSR.

    Richard Witts Manpool, the musical: harmony and counterpoint on the Lancashire Plain. Richard Witts is Reader in Music and Sound at Edge Hill University. He is the author of the biog- raphy of the German chanteuse Nico (1993, revised edition 2017), a study of the music of The Vel- vet Underground (2008), and a history of the Arts Council (1999). He has contributed many articles for journals, including recently The Musical Times (Summer 2015) and vol.7/3 of Popular Music History (2012). His contributions to BBC radio include the documentaries 1968 in America and The Technocrats where he discussed pop music with Stockhausen. Edge Hill University St. Helens Road Ormskirk, Lancashire L39 4QP [email protected] Abstract Since 2015 Liverpool has been designated a UNESCO ‘City of Music’. Not so its neighbour Manchester, which has nonetheless been hailed in the press as the ‘capital city of music’. They remain globally valued as two of the chief cities identified with the development of popular music in the second half of the twentieth century. As de-industrialised centres seeking new engines of growth, they have invested in these cultural reputations in order to attract for themselves tourists, university students, the conference trade and foreign business. Yet across the past decade numerous claims have been made in a range of journalistic outputs that Liverpool and Manchester are cultural rivals. These claims appear to be predicated principally on sport and music, key meeting points of commerce and leisure. There are certainly differences between the two conurbations – the industrial site of Man- chester grew at the interstices of three rivers while Liverpool evolved as an Atlantic port.
