First time I saw Alan Erasmus (Factory Records) he was driving a extremely paint distressed Jensen Healy in MCR across the junction between Whitworth St & Oxford Rd heading towards Rusholme, it was a cold day he had the top down & was wearing sheepskin Flying Jacket…I always liked his DGAF attitude.
