I remember when they issued JD's "Transmission" on 12". They gave it about 6 months.


One of Factory's best attributes was they kept the NO/JD catalogue in stock right until they went bust(!), at least as far as 12" singles went. For someone who was too young at the time of original releases, it was brilliant to be able to go somewhere like Birmingham on a shopping spree and buy brand new presses of New Order 12" singles in HMV in about 1990/91, stuff like Ceremony, Temptation, EGG etc etc. I remember the Sisters' 12" were similarly kept in stock for years after their initial release.

Mute also kept the entire catalogue in stock for many years, until their first flirtation with a major buy-out. You could buy a new copy of "Warm Leatherette" on 7" direct from Mute until the mid-90s, or possibly later.

Very few records were pressed as "limited" back then, maybe a few special editions with an extra disc or coloured vinyl or something. Mostly they just kept pressing stuff while there was demand for it.
