if i've got one they can't be too rare!

Barney once pissed on my jeans in the bogs at the dry bar,i never washed them again!

I have the only known copy of the white label test pressing on blue vinyl, radio promo 12" of the withdrawn Vanishing Point single, produced exclusively for the head of Festival Records, Michael Grudinsky.

I own a mint Statue Of Little Lewey, an original gold True Faith leave badge, and two 10" JD acetate discs, one of 'Transmission' and one of 'Decades' once owned by Martin Hannett.

Oh and I've got both SALVATION on video,and the SALVATION Movie soundtrack on vinyl.Video would be great only for the fact that my video player plays PAL,and the vid is NTSC. If anyone wants it,they can have it for free,I'll post it on to them!

I wouldn't mind the video, I used to watch it periodically when my local video store had it. Not a great movie, but hey, Exene is in it so it isn't a total wash.

Suppose my "rarity" (don't think it's especially rare though) is the first US Factory cassette of PC&L with the song title Only The Lonely on the second side.

I can source the original 'M1' referred to in "I've Got A Cock Like The M1"

Unique rarity, accept no imitations - this is the original. Some restoration.

Slightly soiled.

A vinyl bootleg called "They Came, We Saw, They Conquered" with an orange cover and a press clipping on the outside indicating it as the first live gig they played as "New Order" - the crowd is piss drunk and barney is cursing a storm at them during the performance lol. Haven't heard it since I packed away my turntable, but I guess I'll give it another listen now that the 7" singles are coming out...

Ronald - sorry, they're not particularly rare - easy to pick up in most 2nd hand stores in the UK. I managed to collect five! A good thing to own one though!

I didn't think it was too rare. I just never saw one here in the shops before. I guess I mainly concentrated on 12"ers in the olden days.

I do have some reasonably rare stuff, but nothing exclusive.

A couple of FBN vinlys, TF cdv, retro disc 5.

I didn't know Salvation is deemed to be rare. I have an Oz pressing of same.

Japanese Blue Monday 7" b/w Confusion. One of about 20 I am led to believe. Most of the balance of which is reportedly stacked in Hooky's closet!

What do I win? Is it rare? ;)

The only rarities of any kind I have are that Retro bonus disc and the Saville soundtrack.. and I suspect most people here probably have both!

A question though - does Soundtrack qualify as New Order's longest single piece? hum.

haha, they mention me on Cerysmatic, never noticed that before. I am the silly person who bought the original FAC1 poster on eBay. I was outbid on another auction where an almost complete set of Factory output was auctioned (singles, LPS's, 12inches,posters, i mean the lot!), the guy who bought it (owner of a well known website) paid $10.000 for it. Dead cheap compared to what was sold. If I had been the winner I would have published a full colour book with al the Factory art in it. Alas...better luck another time...
