Mat Cook was the designer of the artwork for Fac 2.02 A Factory Sample Too. This is the one which features the radiator with various shapes cut out of it. Here Mat explains the brief for the work (such as it was):

"Factory Sampler was an absolute classic, we have to do a double 7-inch + cd. Tony Wilson said 'I don't want to see anything till it's on the shelf and if it's shit then I'll tell you'. Free rein then. I'd also been working with 'Blood and Fire' the reggae label and making stuff I found out there was a machine that could sandblast computer generated shape thru anything ... it didn't work ... except thru the rad."

Mat clarifies further: "actually all the imagery was for real - no computers, just the damn computer laser thing didnt work so we had to get saws, sandblasters, and other mysterious tools out - m".

Thanks to Mat.
