In the early days before CDs........

……there were these little messages written on the original vinyl disc from Factory Records between the end of the record and the label. They usually pertained to something historically Roman. Since my entire vinyl collection was absconded in 1995, I no longer have those references. Does anyone know the complete and correct story? Although NO spent a lot of time here in the mid 80’s, there was way too much partying to done to pay attention to those small details. Besides, central Texas is a far piece from Manchester and the Factory brass.

Yeah, those run-off groove words...... Very cryptic words too... And I remembered Aussie pressings has different words to UK pressings....like Ceremony 12" - Aussie words are 'Watching Love Grows Forever' while UK ones are ' This is why events unerve me'.... actually I've just checked my UK Green cover..it has the same words as the Aussie one....so the UK blue/white stripe one has diff. words...

maybe someday I'll compile all those words from the LPs, 12" and 7".....

Check out the Factory Discography. A wealth of information, including all those groove notations.

WOW!!!! Thanks, mate...that's a great site!!!

If that's become a glossy coffee-table book, I think I'll buy it at any price......it's THE ULTIMATE FACTORY WET-DREAM......
