Rarest JD/NO item

What is the rarest Joy Division or New Order item you've ever seen or come across? I was in a record store in 1991 in Hollywood, Ca and I saw a 45' Joy Division single that the band "supposedly" put out themselves signed by all 4 band members. It was going for $400.00 USD. It looked like the real thing but then you never know. I had a friend from work with me and he was going to loan me the money to buy but I didn't do it. Always regretted it but then you never know. It looked really authentic. I can' remember what was on the cover, it's been a while but I remember thinking that it was the real thing.

Your in Hemet? that's just down Winchester/Murrieta Hot Springs from me.... small world.

No kidding!

That's the An Ideal For Living EP. At one time I owned two copies of it. It's probably the most valuable JD item, but with 1200 copies pressed it's probably not the rarest.

ticket stub from hope and anchor gig

tears in there eyes

the stuff at the urbis for the peter saville exhibition is the rarest i've seen & not jsut the sleeve designs, the louis bust, the awards...

Barney's Memory is the rarest ( autocue I ask yer )

i took a picture of the autocue at one of the 2005 gigs - it doesn't just have the lyrics on it - tells him about guitar breaks etc as well!

Saw a ticket stub signed by Ian curtis. Mark at the Record Peddler owned it. Wonder if he ever sold it?? Priceless

i haven't got one!

ians vox.

theres only one, and its priceless.

I'm curious which store you saw this. Was it Green Hell on Hollywood Blvd or Bleeker Bob's on Melrose?

I remember seeing that at Bleeker Bobs. I remember coz me n my old mate Eli would go there every week just to stare at it. Oh those were the good old days. One day it was gone!! I remember talking to the one of the employees of bleeker bobs, and he said that the store they had in new york had a lot rarities, autographs, etc of NO. Green Hell was the shiiiit! I blew all my wad in buying all my NO n JD live bootleg tapes in that frkn store. Too bad their gone..

I saw a New Zealand pressing of the 12" on Love will tear Us Apart for $300. I offered $50. Alas it isn't in my collection. No matter I have an original Oz pressing I've owned since new. OK not quite new. It spent a few years in storage before I got it. You could order just about anything in them days and often it was the original pressing.

it's probably not rare or all that valuable, but i just got something... not sure what it is. it might be a technique tour book, it might be some strange press kit. it has the round and round girl on the front and a bunch (maybe 25 pages) of full size photos of album graphics and tour photos, along with quotes and pictures of various people associated with new order. not sure what it is, but it's pretty damn cool.

so what is it?

edit: well, just one little google search and i figured it out. doesn't belong anywhere near this post... it's "untitled," the 1989 tour program. still pretty cool. if i were in college, or still smoking pot, i'd put bits of it up on my walls... but it's two-sided, and i wouldn't wanna destroy it or hide some nice bit. meh.

Ians Kitchen Table!! abovelol:

I can't remember the name. It was about 17 years ago. I want to say it was on Melrose, but I'm not sure.

I think it's just a picture book more than anything. I used to have it.

Now thats ironic. All my early NO/JD pressings are NZ ones (EMI) cause thats obviously what was sold down here. I used to send over to the UK to import the nicely packaged ones and not the shitty paper sleeves we got here.

By the way, my most rare item would be the Blue Monday (edit)/Confusion Japanese 7". Supposed to be only about two dozen of them.

Yup, that would be amongst the top lot...

I guess that some of those New Zealand cassette singles might be worth a few bob nowadays (still haven't managed to track down any of them yet)?
