Tony Wilson Dies!

Anthony H. Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records, has died of a heart attack yesterday (August 10th) at the age of 57. Wilson is best known for signing legendary bands including Joy Division and New Order to his label, and as owner of the Hacienda nightclub in Manchester. He played a key role in the Madchester scene of the late 1980's and early 1990's, signing the Happy Mondays.

Wilson passed away on this evening in the hospital after suffering a heart attack that his doctor said was unrelated to his recent battle with cancer.

Thanks for Joy Division, the "Factory" , the music. RIP Tony!

Instant Hit: The Sound- Contact The Fact

"Contact The Fact" is a song that got me into The Sound. I discovered it while it was a top song on their Last.fm profile list. It was never released as a single and it appeared on the album From The Lions Mouth which was released in 1981 through Korova and WEA records. The album was reissued in 2012 by 1972.
