2CD - Deluxe Edition: 6-panel digipak with 12-page Booklet. This fully remastered 2CD collection brings together their landmark singles from 1985–1992. CD2 dives deeper into the transformative power of the remix.

Celebrating 40 Years of one of Britain’s most iconic and era-defining bands, The Factory Singles is the definitive tribute to a group that reshaped the sound of UK music. This fully remastered 2CD collection brings together their landmark singles from 1985–1992, capturing the raw energy, innovation, and fearless creativity that made them a cornerstone of the Factory Records and Madchester legacy.

From underground club anthems to crossover hits, every track showcases their unique fusion of attitude, electronic experimentation, and dancefloor-ready grooves. These singles not only defined an era but also laid the foundations for the alternative dance and indie scenes that followed.

CD1 presents the fully remastered original singles that bridged the worlds of post-punk and electronic dance, capturing a band whose fearless experimentation defined both Factory Records and the wider Manchester scene. These tracks stand as milestones in the evolution of British music, embodying the spirit of a cultural moment that resonated far beyond the clubs and charts of the late ’80s and early ’90s.

CD2 dives deeper into the transformative power of the remix. Featuring classic reworks from Paul Oakenfold, Andrew Weatherall, and Terry Farley—figures who were themselves instrumental in shaping the UK’s clubland revolution—alongside a selection of more recent reinterpretations from Greg Wilson, Ewan Pearson and more.

The Factory Singles is more than a retrospective—it’s a time capsule of a movement that redefined what a band could be, and a celebration of a legacy that continues to resonate across dancefloors and playlists today.
