The liner notes to LTM's second year-specific roundup of the Manchester label's discography seem to admit as much, if without flatly stating it. There is a handful of enduring exceptions, highlighted by New Order's \"True Faith\" and Happy Mondays' \"24 Hour Party People.\" Otherwise, the year was more about curiosities and one-off club flops, including a few that feature the fingerprints of label A\u0026amp;R chief and Hacienda DJ Mike Pickering, than classic or unjustly neglected releases. The most curious of the bunch is Meat Mouth's \"Meat Mouth Is Murder\" (yep), a cluttered rap 12\" whose saving grace is a reference to bIG fLAME (the mightiest of the C-86 bands). Most definitely for the freakiest of the Factory freaks, exclusively so. ~ Andy Kellman","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50880344391967,"sku":"5024545598520","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/d88889db3e16a5b38dcb026c09f2a99e_6269230b-f681-4dd7-bcab-3bde0d4392cd.jpg?v=1777883529","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/auteur-labels-factory-records-1987","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
