About this item

Originally released in August 2015,  ‘St Anthony: An ode to Anthony H. Wilson’, is a touching tribute to Factory Records legend Tony Wilson. The single features artwork by the great Peter Saville and a remix by Andrew Weatherall.

The poem was written by Mancunian poet and lifelong Wilson fan Mike Garry who took it to music composer Joe Duddell (New Order, Elbow). On the first read, Duddell immediately heard elements of New Order’s ‘Your Silent Face’, completely unrealised by Garry, and decided to base the music on that song. ‘St. Anthony: An Ode To Anthony H Wilson’ was born.
