Fac 12 The Distractions Time Goes By So Slow 7" single September 1979 forty five five years ago this month, fac logo on center label now in color. At my 1st exhibition in 2011 at The Ducie Bridge in Manchester a librarian told me the fac discography was set out all wrong ?

1977: Warsaw appeared at Piper's, Spring Gardens, Manchester with The Distractions Snyde & Nervous Breakdown. Apparently Hooky refused to let Nervous Breakdown use his bass gear. joydiv.org/c191077.htm

Joy Division Central The Distractions We (The Curbs) played support to the Distractions at Partington Community Centre. Very good standard of music. No offers to help us just nicked our sound check time. Played support to Joy Division at B.I.T and Hooky lent me his bass gear and their lighting. Absolute gents.

Coming up at Manchester Polytechnic...
