FACTORY EAR PLUGS
Fac X
December 1978

Description:

The First Christmas present (doesn't even have a number)

December 1979

Red Plastic box with two rubber ear-plugs sourced from industrial supply firm in Gordon, Manchester. Small silver chain is attached to the box.

Black and Silver crackback sticker on front. Undesigned - bad type face.

120 were bought and stickered

This box began the Factory Xmas present tradition, together with metal and lint breathing protector sourced from the same industrial supplier in Gordon. Idea derived from Peter Saville's original logo (Fac 1) for the Factory club in Hulme - the "Use Hearing Protection" warning symbol. The image was also used on the backof Factory's first release, the Factory Sample. The badly designed Xmas greeting on the box was not done by Saville

Description: 7" debut single by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Recorded at Cargo, Rochdale and mixed at Strawberry, Stockport by Martin Hannett; Mastered by Porky Prime Cut, Portland Place, London.

Sleeve designed by Peter Saville.
Printed and hand folded and glued by Roberts and Sons Printers, Chapel Street, Salford

Status Very rare in this original version.

Track originally recorded on "Henry", OMD's tape recorder. This release got them noticed and then, after a mild bidding war between Phonogram and Virgin, they moved to Dindisc/Virgin. As did Mr. Saville.

Peter's idea for this sleeve originated in a thermo graphic machine installed in the Manchester Poly graphics Department at that time. Peter wanted to experiment with using the same color thermo ink as the card it was printed on. Originally offered the sleeve concept to A Certain Ratio in the bar of the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, who, arrogant little bastards, told him to get lost. Instead he gave the idea to OMD, became their regular designer and won countless awards for his work with them in the next few years.

Notes from www.omd.co.uk

Electricity was one of the first songs that Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys wrote together.

Almost had been inspired by The Teardrop Explodes' song Camera, Camera which featured the line "I see a red car, I see a green car". The phrase lodged in Andy's mind and he reworked the idea of traveling to see a loved one by car.

There was some debate between the band and Tony Wilson (Factory supremo) over which versions of the songs to include. Wilson favoured Hannet's polished versions while Andy and Paul, not convinced by Hannet's over-lush production, wanted the original versions. A compromise was struck so that OMD's version of Electricity was included with Hannet's take on Almost on the flipside.

5,000 copies were produced in a special 'black on black' thermographed sleeve design.

The unusual graphics that feature on the sleeve were partially inspired by Andy and Paul's original musical notation style. Unable to read or write music, they adapted a series of symbols, each one representing different instruments.

Although only 5,000 singles were produced, Electricity was not a limited edition by choice. The difficult high temperature thermography procedure required by the sleeve design managed to set the printers equipment on fire several times. The printer finally despaired and called a halt to the production run at 5,000 copies.

The run-out grooves on side one read "Before" and side two reads "After".

From an original idea by Durutti Column guitarist Dave Rowbotham who, late one night in Strawberry studios, suggested Factory do a badge "like a prefect's badge, you know, enamel". Dave was later to die in a vicious axe murder that was memorialized in the Happy Mondays song, "Cowboy Dave."
