HAC XXX 1X
Disorder, Box, Detroit and now XXX. The first Hacienda 30th anniversary party - organised by Peter Hook and taking over the two levels of car park in the basement of the Hacienda apartment block - was up there with the best of them.
There were no half measures: permissions were sought from the management company and residents of an entire apartment block; parking spaces were rented across the road to create the space; council licences were granted; an impressive PA, stage, light show, bar and (a generous supply of) portaloos installed; (Greg) Wilson, Hook, Haslam, DaSilva and Park were booked; and all for 500 invited guests paying GBP 10.00 each to charity.
The Old Order were, of course, famous for such philanthropic displays of largesse.

Influential Blackpool-based band that began as a post-punk outfit before embracing electronic music with dance leanings. Their key recordings include the U.S. crossover club-hit 'Looking From a Hilltop' (FAC 108) and the albums Always Now (FACT 45) and From the Hip (FACT 90). After issuing their final Factory release in 1988, the album Love and Hate (FACT 160), Section 25 went on hiatus until regrouping in 2001 and recording albums such as Part Primitiv and Nature and Degree for the LTM label.
