The #1 all time most-asked question... Where can I buy stuff?

I'm not a shop, I don't live in the UK or US, and I'm not selling any of my stuff... However, here are some suggestions:

  • EBay
  • EIL Mail Order
  • Vinyl Tap, another UK dealer with lots of FAC stuff
  • GEMM, a good music dealer search facility
    Search the world
    for your music!
  • Factory mailing list, join and ask there

The #2 all time most-asked question... How can I contact Factory (now F4 Records)?

Go to their website at www.f4records.co.uk

"We were Factory too only for the 3 year period where we were owned by London/Polygram. An unbearable nightmare. London Polygram thought that they had bought everything, our bands, our catalogue and our name. They had, except that our official business name was Factory Communications Ltd which they had bought from the receiver for £50,000. 18 months ago we bought the name Factory Records Limited for £136 from Companies House in London."
