Bleep

Compiled by the always-informed music maestro and historian, Bill Brewster, Strut unveils a completely dazzling retrospective of the formidable Factory Records, the seminal club/record label spurned from 1970s Manchester. 'On Dance' compiles the dance floor evolution of Factory Records onto archival format, tracing the early days of key 12 inch releases, mixes and rare gems from the likes of New Order's Bernard Sumner and some of his more offbeat and unknown work, to the dually disguised works of A Certain Ratio's drummer Donald Johnson to material from Quando Quango and the jazz funk of Swamp Children. Absolutely essential stuff.
