HAD A WEIRD ONE THO RECENTLY , FOUND? A VAULT FULL OF OLD FACTORY /NEW ORDER TAPES REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GOIN THRU IT, THE VAULT TURNED UP BECAUSE THE BANK WAS CLOSING DOWN , SO THEY HAD TO EMPTY THEM ? NO ONE KNEW IT EVEN EXISTED?

Although it'll probably take another 8 years for him to get around to it, and another 5 to get anything on disc
I wonder how often one of his offspring has to help him log in cos "someone's hacked me password" (ie, he's trying to login with CAPS on).
Still, excellent news.

just a thought, but if Hooky has left the band as he is constantly telling us, why would he be given the contents of this vault?
Firstly, Hooky owns a third/quarter of the copyright, second, he's probably the only one bothered to go through it all with enthusiasm, third, the others wouldn't say 'no' to a share in any profit coming out of releases (and you can't blame them!)

It's a come down for a guy who was at the cutting edge of music technology a quarter of a century ago. My gran can type better. And she's been dead almost seven years.
Hooky's always been the sentimental fucker in the band, and that means he keeps the memobilia...the tshirts, the tapes, bricks from the Hacienda. I remember hearing that when Strawberry Studios closed down, he went over and rescued all the old tapes from a skip. Think of it... original Joy Division multitracks just thrown in the bin by uncaring morons who trampled on the historical significance due to their ignorance.
I lost a C90 tape in 1991, wonder if its in there. Have a look for me Hooky?
It's got 'The Cure' crossed out on the label.
