the legendary founder of factory rec. from manchester / u.k. , mr. tony wilson , has died last night ! :-(
without him , bands like joy division / new order or the happy mondays wouldn't exist !
he was known as "mr. manchester" on the musical map & he'll be sadly missed by all those , who knew him or have heard of him in one way or the other & shared the overwhelming enthusiasm he had for the music & bands he liked !

may he rest in eternal peace now !
