Vini's FAC 227 Fact Ten

Following on from the recent Stupefied Playlist that Vini Reilly did for Stupefaction, we thought it would be good to revisit a vintage playlist from the old Factory days which was immortalised in the NME's Fred Fact page orchestrated by the legendary Fred Dellar. However, this was not any old edition it was the FAC 227 'Fred Fact' NME Feature Page(s).

By way of introduction, Fred wrote: "Vini, as you might imagine, has all-encompassing taste when it comes to record collecting. However, prompted to come up with an all-time Top Ten, he decided on the following:"

1 'Interesting Drug'
Morrissey (Parlophone)

2 'Black Dog' LP track.
Led Zeppelin (Atlantic)

3 'The Little Big Band' CD
Rob Gray (Factory)

4 '4th Symphony' Charles Ives

5 'There's A Riot Going On' LP
Sly And The Family Stone (Epic)

6 'Ram' LP
Paul McCartney Parlophone,)

7 'The White Album' LP
The Beatles (Parlophone)

8 'Maria Elena'
Los Indios Tabajaras (RCA)

9 'In The Depths Of The Temple', a duet from The Pearl Fishers by Bizet

10 'Then Play On' LP
Fleetwood Mac (Reprise)

Note that Morrissey is conspicuously absent from the later list...
