Rarest JD/NO item

This badboy auctioned this morning for a healthy sum:

New Order: Blue Monday JAPAN ONLY PROMO 7" Joy Division - US$850

Would be in the top handful of NO collectables.

:\pimp3:

The rarest I ever had, was stolen from me years back. Not sure the correct name of it (test pressing??) but it was (I think) a 25 minute rendition of Shellshock. Was only on one side, in a plain white cardboard sleeve... other than that my stuff is pretty run of the mill vinyl.... not sure how rare the SubSub single is with Barney....

My rarest stuff is (cover yer ears Digi) of the Cure.... NO stuff was really hard to come by in LA...

Maybe the rarest ?

New Order / Depeche Mode - Hurt / Oberkorn (It's A Small Town) Label: Factory, Mute Records Ltd. Catalog#: FAC 63b, 7 MUTE 022b Format: Vinyl, 7", Mispress, Test Pressing Country: UK Released: 1982 Genre: Electronic, Rock Style: Synth-pop, Indie Rock Notes: This is a mispressed test pressing featuring the b-sides from New Order "Temptation" (FAC 063) and Depeche Mode "The Meaning Of Love" (MUTE 022). Only 8 copies were pressed.

There's also another similar test pressing to this one that features "7 FAC 93 B1" on one side (Confusion 7" promo B side) and "7 BONG 4 A2" on the other (Depeche Mode - Love In Itself 7").

There are probably only a handful of them too.

Neil, you have some cool sh*t.

Must be connected to the white labels. Perhaps there's another acetate floating around with the Dub on it.
