The UK electronic magazine Electronic Sound pays tribute to the legendary Factory Records in June. The June issue of the mag (issue 54) includes a double seven-inch titled A Factory Assembly, which features tracks from A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, Section 25, and Minny Pops. The seven-inch is a tribute to the rarity A Factory Sample (FAC 2) which commands big money on the secondary market -- if you see one for less than $200, consider it a steal.
A Factory Assembly will be included with Electronic Sound issue #54, which will be published June 13th. Copies of the issue will be available to purchase through the Electronic Sound website. Additionally those interested can obtain a magazine subscription here.
The original FAC 2 limited edition double seven-inch (pictured above) was released in 1979 and featured Joy Division ("Glass" and "Digital"), The Durutti Column ("No Communication" and "Thin Ice"), John Dowie ("Acne," "Idiot," and "Hitler's Liver"), and Cabaret Voltaire ( "Baader-Meinhof" and "Sex In Secret").
