Of the many things he was, he was a kind of historian. He was making up his own history as he went along, setting things in place, anticipating, and making things happen. And very early on, he would talk to me—I'd only known him for a year or two—about, “That's for the book, Paul,” never saying what book was. But it was clear that he had in mind there would be books written about [his story]. And indeed he was right–there were films made about his story [like 24 Hour Party People]. So there was that wonderful sense that he's getting inside your head already from very early on and he's anticipating, “This is going to be big. Something big is going to happen.” He's going to be at the center of it, he needs his people in place to cover it, design it, write about it, photograph it, film it. He's operating a little bit like a TV guy and he's getting his team ready. I was part of his team on and off from a very early stage. It was never said, “You [will write the book]”...but it became me, and that was fair enough because I guess I'd been rehearsing it all my life.

Before I start the review of this book, which was first published in 2006 and reprinted in 2009, I should add that I don't know either author, and have only met the Omnibus publisher, Chris Charlesworth once, for five minutes or so, when delivering an Ian McEwan t shirt he'd won on this blog to his office. I pointed at this book on his shelf and asked him about it; he generously told me I could have it (not knowing that I'd go on to review it), and that was it. I was hooked. a b "52ND STREET - full Official Chart History". Official Charts Company . Retrieved 23 September 2020. He made little money from Factory Records or the Haçienda, despite the enormous popularity and cultural significance of both endeavours. [9] Both Factory Records and the Haçienda came to an abrupt end in the late 1990s. [ citation needed]On a personal note, Wilson first heard about you through your fanzine when you were living in Manchester in the 1970s. And one day, Wilson paid a visit to your home while you were out. Your mother was so impressed to be in the presence of a local celebrity. In 1988, Wilson hosted The Other Side of Midnight, another Granada weekly regional culture slot, covering music, literature and the arts in general. Wilson co-presented the BBC's coverage of The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium with Lisa I'Anson in 1992. He hosted the short-lived TV quiz shows Topranko! and Channel 4's Remote Control in the 1990s, as well as the Manchester United themed quiz, Masterfan, for MUTV. The early years of Factory Records did so much to influence the city and the UK’s contemporary creative industries, and this exhibition explores why its unique development could only have happened in Manchester at this time and involving this group of people. The geography of the city and its suburbs inspired Factory’s visual agenda, and its iconic aesthetic has been reflected throughout the exhibition’s design. I heard John had a pretty terrible drug habit, and that was becoming a debilitating thing; he’d become paranoid and insular, didn’t get out of bed or leave the house for days on end, and he would decide that he was gonna give it all up to become a painter, which is what he ultimately did. I don’t think John really cared. I just get the impression he didn’t really give a shit. Not so much just about The Stone Roses – about music in general.

Live they were great. Reni was just a brilliant, brilliant drummer, and they had that real sense of rhythm. What I loved about them was their Byrds-esque guitar, Ian being a magnetic and mesmerising frontman, and Reni just being a great drummer. I was an indie DJ at the Hacienda and their records started to sound brilliant in the club; they were quite stripped down. Around that time your typical indie band, like The Wedding Present, were just a clutter of noisy, shoutiness and the Roses just sounded so much cooler. Apart from that, I wasn't a big fan of how it was written. Some parts of the story weren't well-connected and at times, probably because the book was written by two different people. As well, sometimes there were unnecessary paragraphs praising the genius of Ian Curtis. If we are reading this book, we already know he was a brilliant genius and that they just don't make them like him anymore. Everything said in those paragraphs, we already know. The reason to write a biography is to know the subject better. If the subject wasn't great, they wouldn't have a biography in the first place, right? I believe that those comments of praise rather belong in conversation or in academic writing analysing his written work, not necessarily in his life story.

The guy who managed the Hacienda, Howard Jones, was their manager briefly.
