New Factory Boxset?

This just popped up in my MySpace bulletins from Section 25:

Anyone have any other details...I can't find a thing.

Pardon my French, but fuck that. Paul Morley RUINS everything he writes "liner notes" for. The Yazoo box set was essentially 15 pages of the same paragraph over and over.

Why do people still hire him?

I agree with all the comments...but has anyone seen any other details? Is it a poor Palatine re-issue? Does Saville need more $$ to make white boxes for other artists to throw up on?

I agree, it will most likely be horribly botched, but one can dream can't he?

BOYCOTT ALL THIS CRAP.

look, all the key players are dead, or dead in spirit (Sumner and Hook, I am looking at you), so nothing good is going to come of any reissues, ever.

BOYCOTT WARNER LONDON REISSUES OF ANY KIND.

I concur, if theyre not done shitting on New Order's legacy, they have to assault the other Factory artists.

I pray that Vini Reilly grabbed all his master tapes and fled the country.....

And the optimism abounds...

I'm actually looking forward to this since it's being compiled by Jon Savage. His book "England's Dreaming" was very thorough, plus the Palatine Box set left off a lot of the other Factory groups I like (The Names, Crispy Ambulance, Minipops, Swamp Children, Royal Family and the Poor)

You can most likely guarantee the man's estate who was the catalyst and original backer of most of this music will get precisely nothing (AHW).

Probably, especially as it's the respective bands that the music needs to be licensed from. Maybe this time the bands themselves can receive some recompense for their work (rather than sorry, we've spent it on a table).

Amusing that all the "vinyl is better than CD" crowd cry when offered a digital recording made from vinyl on 20 grand's worth of kit.

Well I'd buy it. I've got Palatine on vinyl so wouldn't mind having a factory compilation on CD. Agree with one of the posts up there. Palatine missed out on a lot of acts and didn't use the best track of artists which were included (Kan Kill & How Corrupt Is Rough Trade by the Stockholm Monsters being the obvoius ones).

So it looks like all the groups I mention will be on this box set, plus this track listing is a million times better than the Palatine set. I'll certainly be getting this.

Happy Mondays "Freaky Dancing" is also a plus. I missed out on an auction for a double disc version of "Loads" which is the only CD that has it.

If it represents well some of the Factory art, and has a good sampling of tracks? ... why all the bitching? you guys complain no matter what and would want something no one would buy in any event.

Can't be quite as half arsed as the New Order re-issues, which seemed done by an intern during summer break.
