Factory Records was a Manchester-based independent record label that was home to many prominent acts in the area such as Music/JoyDivision and Music/NewOrder, Music/HappyMondays, The Durutti Column, and A Certain Ratio.
Factory was formed in 1978 originally as a club by TV presenter Tony Wilson and band manager Alan Erasmus which held performances from bands who would later be signees on the label; Factory began releasing singles and albums in 1979. Similar to Creator/FourADRecords, another British PostPunk label with a cult following, Factory used a ProductionPosse (including RecordProducer Martin Hannett and graphic designer Peter Saville) to give the label and the artists recording for it a particular sound and image, one that ended up extending to the artists' genres as well, with Joy Division in particular becoming ''the'' defining band of the post-punk movement. Factory also used a unique (in all senses of the word) cataloging system that provided numbers not just to recordings, but also artwork, projects, and whatever the hell Tony Wilson felt like assigning a number to. This included The Haçienda, a Manchester club Factory owned (FAC 51); a lawsuit filed against the label by Hannett (FAC 61); a nameless stray cat who lived in The Haçienda's basement (FAC 191); a short-lived hairdressing salon in that same basement (FAC 98); a table (FAC 331); a bet between Wilson and Joy Division manager Rob Gretton (FAC 253); a dental surgery procedure Gretton underwent (FAC 99); and a Happy Mondays album issued in 2007 on a completely different label (FAC 500).
Factory was well-known for only having a handful of acts releasing material for them at any one time. Aside from New Order, Happy Mondays and Joy Division, the label's other stalwarts included A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, Section 25, Northside, The Railway Children, Cath Carroll and Kalima. They also released one-off singles from Music/CabaretVoltaire, James, Music/OrchestralManoeuvresInTheDark and Crispy Ambulance.
In the early '80s, Factory opened branches in America and Australia. It also created a European division, Factory Benelux, which got many exclusive releases (some of which had been passed over by the British label).
By the mid '80s, the success of New Order and Happy Mondays allowed Factory to open to a variety of acts, particularly in the techno and acid house genres. It also expanded into ClassicalMusic with the Factory Classical label, which was launched in 1989.
However, the success would not last forever; in 1992, due to the costly failure of Happy Mondays' ''Yes Please'' album (itself having already burned through most of the record label's money) and the lengthy delay in New Order following up their acclaimed 1989 album ''Technique'', Factory began to have serious financial problems. While London Records was interested in buying Factory, the deal went south when they found that Factory's earlier practice of not using contracts meant that the bands (particularly New Order, who at this point was the FaceOfTheBand for Factory) held the rights to their own backlogs, not the label. Thus the label was forced to declare bankruptcy in November 1992. Many of the Factory artists, including New Order, would go on to sign with London Records anyways; it would be through them that New Order would finally release ''Republic'', the ''Technique'' follow-up that could've kept Factory going. In 1994, Tony Wilson revived the label (in partnership with London Records) as Factory Two, with The Durutti Column and some new acts on the roster, but this incarnation ended later in TheNineties.

By the mid '80s, the success of New Order and Happy Mondays allowed Factory to open to a variety of acts, particularly in the techno and acid house genres. It also expanded into ClassicalMusic with the Factory Classical label, which was launched in 1989. However, the success would not last forever; in 1992, due to the costly failure of Happy Monday's Mondays' ''Yes Please'' album, Factory began to have serious financial problems. While London Records was interested in buying Factory, the deal went south when they found that Factory's earlier practice of not using contracts meant that the back catalog to New Order's recordings belonged with the bands and not the label. Thus the label was forced to declare bankruptcy in November 1992. Many of the Factory artists, including New Order, would go on to sign with London Records. In 1994, Tony Wilson revived the label (in partnership with London Records) as Factory Two, with The Durutti Column and some new acts on the roster, but this incarnation ended later in TheNineties.

Factory was formed in 1978 originally as a club by TV presenter Tony Wilson and band manager Alan Erasmus which held performances from bands who would later be signees on the label. Factory began releasing singles and albums in 1979. Similar to Creator/FourADRecords, another British PostPunk label with a cult following, Factory used a ProductionPosse (including RecordProducer Martin Hannett and graphic designer Peter Saville) to give the label, and the artists recording for it, a particular sound and image. Factory also used a cataloging system that provided numbers to artwork and projects in addition to recordings. Said projects included The Haçienda, a Manchester club Factory owned (FAC 51), a lawsuit filed against the label by Hannett (FAC 61), a nameless stray cat who lived in The Haçienda's basement (FAC 191), and a bet between Wilson and Joy Division manager Rob Gretton (FAC 253).
