~ FAC6 BEFORE
~ FAC6 AFTER

*  Produced by Paul Collister and OMD.
** Produced by Martin Hannett.

Additional Notes:

Limited edition of 5000. Housed in black on black thermographic sleeve designed by Peter Saville and printed and hand folded and glued by Roberts and Sons Printers, Chapel Street, Salford.

"Peter's idea for this sleeve originated in a thermographic machine installed in the Manchester Poly graphics Department at that time. Peter wanted to experiment with using the same colour thermo ink as the card it was printed on. Originally offered the sleeve concept to A Certain Ratio in the bar of the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, who, arrogant little bastards, told him to get lost. Instead he gave the idea to OMD, became their regular designer and won countless awards for his work with them in the next few years." (AHW)

In 1980, this was reissued by DinDisc, with the A-side produced by Martin Hannett, and the artwork replaced with standard white on black printing. On this re-release, the catalogue number became DinDisc DIN 2, but it was still a "Factory Records Product". In 1984 a 3rd version of the 7" was issued (DinDisc DIN 2 - "A Factory Records Product") with both tracks produced by OMD and Chester Valentino in the versions found on OMD's debut LP.

Additional Notes:

Badge bearing the 'Fractured Music' logo, Fractured Music being Joy Division's publishing arm.

2 editions. 400 made in maroon, then 200 in black, manufactured by Johnson's Engravers, Leeds.

"From an original idea by Durutti Column guitarist Dave Rowbotham who, late one night in Strawberry studios, suggested Factory do a badge 'like a prefect's badge, you know, enamel'. Dave was later to die in a vicious axe murder that was memorialised in the Happy Mondays song, 'Cowboy Dave.' "(AHW)
