[PAR] [TLE] Factory Records [SEP] Factory Records was a Manchester-based British independent record label, started in 1978 by Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus, which featured several prominent musical acts on its roster such as Joy Division, New Order, A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, Happy Mondays, Northside, and (briefly) Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and James.  Like the label 4AD Records, Factory Records used a creative team (most notably record producer Martin Hannett and graphic designer Peter Saville) which gave the label and the artists recording for it a particular sound and image.  The label employed a unique cataloguing system that gave a number not just to its musical releases, but to artwork and other objects, as well. [PAR] [TLE] So Many Ways (James song) [SEP] "So Many Ways" is a single by Mancunian band James, released in July 1986 by Sire Records, the second after the band defected from Factory Records.  The record was released in two different versions, as 7" single and 12" EP, with different artworks by John Carroll.  "So Many Ways" and "Withdrawn" were taken straight from James's debut album, "Stutter" and the third a slightly longer take on another album track, "Just Hip".
