Notes: Factory created a sculpture based on the FAC 47 logo to mark 500,000 sales of FAC 73. PETER HOOK: "This is the Factory Award that TONY WILSON made up to celebrate the half a million sales of "Blue Monday". Because we weren't in the BPI we weren't going to be honoured for the sales. In fact, this is the award for us losing £50,000 because we were making a loss of 10p on every sale.”

'Blue Monday 1988' remix supervised by Quincy Jones for Qwest Records. (Remix and additional production by John Potoker.) Video also seen on FACT 225
