About this audio guide
This guide to FAC251 on Princess Street in Manchester follows a single November day in nineteen ninety-two, when a small film crew turned up outside the headquarters of Factory Records on a tip-off. It brings in Tony Wilson and his partners, the designer Ben Kelly, and a boardroom table with its own catalogue number. Best heard on the pavement outside, looking up at the upper floors.
