MOUSE IN THE HOUSE Rastamouse and The Easy Crew recently visited EMI’s Wrights Lane office to sign new recording and publishing contracts with the group. We wonder if Rasta signed his name as such, or if the bloke under the costume wrote his own moniker. Imagine: ‘Trevor Smith’. What do you mean you didn’t realise there was a bloke under the costume? Don’t have nightmares. [L-R] to right Tom Herbert (marketing manager), Scratchy, Jon Wilson (senior repertoire manager) Steve Pritchard (SVP commercial marketing and catalogue), Rastamouse, Pete Duckworth (SVP commercial marketing and catalogue) Zoomer, Steve Woof (director, EMI Gold).
FABLED LABELS
FACTORY RECORDS Founded: 1978 Key artists: Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays.
The Manchester-based British independent record label Factory Records was founded in 1978 by Tony Wilson, Alan Erasmus, Peter Saville and Martin Hannett. The label used a creative team (most notably record producer Martin
Hannett and graphic designer Peter Saville) to steer its artists towards a particular sound and image - and it is heavily credited as responsible for the birth of the Madchester scene in the mid to late Eighties. The first album released by Factory was Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division (left) in 1979. The album received great critical acclaim
and the record’s success launched the label into a “true business”. Other well-known acts to work with Factory
included A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, Happy Mondays and Northside. Aside from the music, the label ran the famous Hacienda club in Manchester where many world
famous DJs began their careers behind the decks. After heavily overspending on production and recording costs, Factory
Records was declared bankrupt in November 1992. The Hacienda club outlived Factory, closing its doors in 1997.
Did you know? A semi-fictional account of the story of Factory Records was depicted in the film 24 Hour Party People in 2002.
MAVERICK SABRE VS PLAN B
PRETTY DAMNED GOOD Music Week was proud to sponsor the Rhythms Of The World festival in Hitchin, Hertfordshire last weekend. ROTW is a registered charity led entirely by volunteers, which aims to unite diverse communities through music and the arts. The likes of The Damned, Don Broco, Speech Debelle and The Young Knives played at the two-day event. A vicious rumour went round that The Damned's Captain Sensible wouldn't be wearing his trademark beret. We're proud to put it to bed with our photographic evidence.
