ooh Factory and related post-punk re-releases (not the obvious ones either)

[fingertrouble]

Somehow I missed the likes of Quando Quango (who? Well that was Mike Pickering and friends, produced in part by New Order, eventually became T-Coy and M-People), A Certain Ratio, Cath Caroll 23 Skidoo etc had been re-released by tiny label LTM.

Interesting - especially the Cool as Ice / Twice as Nice compilations of Be Music productions (Jeb? I assume you know of this?) - Be Music being the production name of New Order...and I can attest some of those tracks were proto-acid house.

Ooh tempting to give my credit card a thrashing!

DOH They did the From Brussels With Love re-release...why did I manage to miss the others then?

The LTM releases are top-notch! They're all carefully remastered with extensive liner notes. I've picked up the Revenge, Cool As Ice, and A Certain Ratio ones.

BTW, March 9 ACR is playing a gig in London, and the support act it ESG. It's killing me that I can't afford to come over.

LTM isn't involved, but have you heard about the Factory box set that's coming out?

Yes it's leaked and I've downloaded it ;-)

Good to know - I might buy the Quando, 23 Skidoo - Urban Gamelan and Le Disques Crepuscule or however you spell it compilation for Nyman's Mozart and Devine and Statton.

Definitely getting Cool as Ice.
