Working diligently with my librarian hat on. I am really proud of how well we took care of our things and collectables...just kinda forgot. We have hundreds of quality pieces. Seldom seen especially in the U.S. Some are rare or at least hard to find. I welcome International Buyers I know you have to pay high taxes from your country and mine. It also takes forever, but collecting is like that, I know. 

If the record is a mess - you will know about it and see it, if it was a cut out or a promo, I will show and tell.  Nonsmoking home, original owners (okay a few finds in thrifting Years ago)...Happy to pass on to someone who wants it.

Section 25 In The Key of Dreams

Factory Records: SECTION 25

Influential Blackpool-based band that began as a post-punk outfit before embracing electronic music with dance leanings.

Their key recordings include the U.S. crossover club-hit 'Looking From a Hilltop' (FAC 108) and the albums 'Always Now' (FACT 45) and 'From the Hip' (FACT 90).

After issuing their final Factory release in 1988, the album "Love and Hate" (FACT 160), Section 25 went on hiatus until regrouping in 2001 and recording albums such as 'Part Primitiv' and 'Nature and Degree' for the LTM label.

The self-produced Key of Dreams presents nine examinations of paranoia and anxiety, using lurking glissandi, curious touches of Doorsish piano and Oriental philosophy bringing a new body to Section 25's work.Always Now works away from imitation, giving greater emphasis to musical technique outside the parameters of rock. Producer Martin Hannett thickens the sound, bring

Factory Records: Factory Benelux

European (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) offshoot of Factory, operated by Les Disques du Crépuscule.

"Factory Benelux was the result of an informal arrangement made in April 1980 between Factory Records and Les Disques du Crépuscule in Brussels, by which the latter would release 'spare' recordings made by Factory artists, and provide the Manchester label with an entrée into Continental Europe. The founders of both Benelux and Crépuscule were journalists Michel Duval and Annik Honoré, who had already promoted early performances by several Factory artists (JOY DIVISION, A CERTAIN RATIO, SECTION 25) at the famous Plan K venue. Factory had undertaken at least one similar overseas project with the limited edition release of the JOY DIVISION single Atmosphere through French art label Sordide Sentimental, and also set up a North American branch, Factory US."

Vinyl collecting tips

Check the edition of the record, i.e. whether or not it is a standard copy, a REPRESS (non-original), or a PROMO (usually worth a lot more as they were released in limited numbers before being commercially released).

*FIRST (1ST) PRESS: These LPs are the very first to come off the production line and are made directly from the mother discs, the matrix numbers usually end in -1.

*MATRIX NUMBERS: These are numbers found etched into the vinyl between the final track and label. Each side should have a different number. They tell you when are where the LP was made, if the matrix numbers end in -1 it usually means they are 1st pressings.

Bear in mind that some releases get a simultaneous release on multiple formats within the same territory, and then you have the releases that may be released at the same time in completely different territories often by different labels.
