Additional Notes:
FAC 207 number also allocated to LITTLE BIG BAND: 'Digital Buskingomo Video' in January 1988, but more information is required.
"Little Big Band, aka Rob Gray was my art teacher at college in Manchester and he was somewhat of a notorious busker around time from 1986 onwards. Rob busked on the steps of the Royal Exchange Theatre, every Saturday, week in-week out. Factory signed him for this compilation but me and a few others have the original demo, before it was released on Factory, but with the same cover. Rob also had a bit of the Factory spirit about him prior to becoming involved with the label - he 'issued' Access All Areas passes to all his friends, certain colours for certain years etc. This was a great blag of course as we would use them to get in all manner of gigs around town!!" - Helen Hughes
Number also seen on a copy of what is actually FAC 277.

Additional Notes:
Promotional gift (as seen in "Blue Monday 1988" video clip), and also Factory's 1988 Xmas present. 350 manufactured, 250 mailed out.
"New Order's video producer, Michael Shamberg, created a unique collaboration for the video for Blue Monday 1988, the Quincy Jones remix. He invited Robert Breer, the godfather of American Animation to work with Bill Wegman, the rising photographic star, whose pictures of his Weimaraner, Man Ray, were beginning to win him wide acclaim. All three working out of New York - Robert lived just up the Hudson - they created the video where Weimaraner and musicians seem to spend most of their time dodging tennis balls. Breer made a hand painted animation flick book featuring Bill Wegman's Fay Wray, and a stick, which was filmed for inclusion in the video. The band are also seen "flicking" the original book. Factory made exact copies of the hand painted book down to weight of card and shaping of edges and used them as their 88 Xmas gift. And it works too, just like Robert intended. " (AHW)
