Design: JOHN MACKLIN

Notes: Boxed set consisting of FACT/D 314 + 324 + 334 + 344 + 36-page colour booklet.

The booklet (see also FAC 345), and a free video (see FACT 400V) also carries the catalogue number. The booklet includes a shortlist of 'all' Factory UK and Benelux numbers. Mistakes, misspellings (and/or typos), mis-titles and contradictory release dates lessen its reliability.

FAC 400 was also allocated to a promotional issue video of the Joy Division 'Transmission' clip.
