Another one of those bands with not much info this is the
only single they released in 1972 for Spin Records, a cover of an Emitt Rhodes
recording. At first I thought this was a Perth band but thanks to some later
info from George turns out they were a Sydney band. Chris Woodman from Perth took
the band’s name with him to Sydney a few years later and formed this new band. The single was produced by Gus McNeil. Here to
download is Factory and their single “Live Until You Die” b/w “Shaggy Dog”
(ek-4657).

I grabbed this song because I'm writing the database on Perth bands 1960/70/80. There was a Perth band called Factory but lasted a few months in 1972. There was a Tom Andel in that Factory but none of then names match. I will ring Tom and ask him about this record but as I have interviewed him twice he never mentioned this record.
Also, as I was playing the A side, I started to recognise the song and that I had just recently played it a few times last week while playing my Emitt Rhodes album. here's the link to the original on youtube.

I will let you know what I find out about this Factory record.

The only member from Perth is Chris Woodman who took the name with him to Sydney a few years later and formed this new band. So this band is from NSW not Perth and 100% Tom Andel is not on this record.

The original Factory formed in Perth in late 1971. Andel & Woodman moved to Sydney & formed a new line-up with Bruce & the Manna siblings. Andel & woodman left before the single was recorded & were replaced by Allen & Neaves.
