Good to hear about your Factory collection, Steve.

I have a bunch of white label radio promos, including the original Blue Monday, and True Faith, that you mention above.

Obviously have pretty much all the New Order normal releases and remixes too.

Haven't played them in years, as the ability to do so was lost when I moved to the States and the electrical issues forced me to sell/give away the wherewithal.

Now I'm back, kids and lack of space (and funds) have prevented recreating the rather decent set-up I had before.

Unfortunately Steve, I think you've missed the boat on that one!

From Wikipedia :

"The last ever Factory catalogue number was given to Tony Wilson's coffin (FAC 501), reported on the site 'Cerysmatic Factory'"

And the numbers were never necessarily issued in sequence order - Fac 491 was issued in July 07 and Fac 511 was issued in May 2004!

Cool design for the back of an mp3 player though!

Hope you mean a Zune and not a coffin there Steve!

Don't think Rob Gretton got a FAC no on his coffin, but a recent exhibition centered around him got a FAC number...
