I remember this site from before and it's coverage of Rob Gretton's lock-up - it's now a fairly impressive resource, with contributions from us punters welcomed.
Lots to wade through, but I particularly liked the alternate lyrics to Subculture...

Cheers for that link OB!
Finally got something to pass the time and have a good read of at work this morning 
Aside from er, work.

Not any more.
I've wallpapered my spare room in them. 
And there was me thinking you had them loving stored in plastic wallets, in a four ring binder in date order - each with an accompanying sheet detailing your recollections and anecdotes from the show*
*'Same old shit' scribbled in biro on the top corner.
A "sealed" Vikings FAC383 badge would look quite cool in the archive.
It is an officially numbered piece of Factory history after all
get some Vikings badges in there!
Anyone ever seen this poster for the Ukrainian gig before? The Taras Shevchenko gig now on DVD?

pretty rare I would have thought?
I've got quite a lot to scan in and add, setlists, tickets, a few posters etc. It's finding the time!

Never seen that poster before! As for the badges, I am sure Jarvo could send in the complete set, I think we've done 9 in total......though knowing my memory, I could be wrong :D

Hope you kept your Re:Order ones on a different wall than the real Order ones 
more interesting stuff has been going up in the last few days, such as the setlist for that Cambridge gig in 85. Also more pics of 'those tapes' and of the Rob Gretton notebooks.

Indeed, loads of fascinating stuff. Still waiting for Mat to chronicle these tapes! Good to get the Cambridge setlist confirmed after all these years, and to see that there were indeed things like two Boston 86 dates. The Osaka date is interesting, maybe there were two shows there as well - and you can just about make out "Kong" for 26th April 85 - this will be the Canton Club, Hong Kong show that we know very little about!
Also very interesting to see in one of the photos the very same tapes that constituted the ATR stash that a certain Mr Sultan paid a lot of money for - looks like David's tapes, that came from Hooky via a skip in Suite 16, Brian Whitaker and ATR, were copies after all, and not the master tapes, as they are safe in Rob's lock-up!
Most fascinating revelation for me so far is that JD bought their clothes from Top Man...
Love the pictures of Rob's tape collection. Any idea if these might get put on to cd so that they do not get destroyed?
