EBay lurking.. legit or not?

Originally posted by Spotnick I am doing my shopping on EBay (hunting pictures for this site, I'm broke, so nothing else :D )And here are a few items, I wonder if they are legit:This is a rare limited edition 7 inch vinyl release featuring a 1983 demo version of Confusion, with a live version recorded in Atlanta, Georgia in 1983 on the B-side. Released only in Holland, with a unique picture cover. Altogether a great seldom seen item that will appeal to the serious collector. Mint condition, never played. See Photo. Payment accepted in pounds, euros or US dollars, cheques or money orders, or by credit card via EBay's OnLine Payments (Billpoint), PayPal or BidPay. Overseas bidders very welcome

I've seen this before at a record fair about 15 years ago.

The Confusion 7" is listed in the bootleg section of the History In Cuttings book.

The tracklisting reads thus:

Side 1 CONFUSION (demo 1983)

Side 2 CONFUSION CRIES AND WHISPERS (live at the 688, Atlanta USA June 17, 1983)

Side 1 is in stereo while Side 2 is in mono.

I have this record and it's not much cop in the quality department.By the way it's a bootleg if you didn't already know. ;)

that poster looks way to dodgy to be authentic.

nah, it's just stickers attached to an ordinary pair of sunglasses (kinda like if I put stickers on my glasses saying "Fried Onions" or something odd like that) :p

It's obvious that he does not know much about it, because he thinks is going to get $25 dollars for it. I have seen this go for around $7 on more than one occasion. Same with the Komakino flexi.

Oh yeah, the Komakino flexi...I almost feel sorry for the poor guy who's being trying to off-load that one (or is it a different one every time?)

No, I think it is a repeat offender

Okay, now i feel sorry for him .....but I'm still not gonna bid on it :D

The promo poster for 'The 'Perfect Kiss' nine minute film looks genuine.

It's certainly looks the same as my original obtained (with a few more choice items) in the great Charles Street giveaway.

There is a much dodgier pirate edition of this poster that looks different - it uses a different layout - that occasionally turns up on EBay.

The original poster is apparently quite prized nowadays. Not just from the crazy bunch of obsessives who follow New Order, but by collectors of Barbara Kruger's work.

Use a search engine to check out Ms Kruger - she's an extremely well-known US (?) poster designer.

The Perfect Kiss poster is pretty typical of her work. In fact, I may be accused of being insensitive, but most of her posters look the same to me.

The sleeve photo for the Confusion bootleg was from an award winning issue of The Face. If anyone has a copy of the "Hacienda feature" issue I'd like to talk.

Originally posted by Spotnick Poster is in excellent condition, has been under glass and framed for almost 15 years. Never folded and has only slight creasing. As the backboard has become loose the ripples you see on the picture would not be visible if the poster was flat to the glass.

Sure hope this is legit, seeing as I purchased it, along with the 7 July 1983 gig poster, from a friend of mine who had a record store at the time. I'd always wondered who else had this, seeing as how it's not listed in the poster section here.

Theres more!!

Originally posted by Al Jarvis The poster's defo legit. I've bought stuff from the bloke who's selling it. He's got some amazing memorabilia relating to NO and the Sisters of Mercy. He had an Aussie tour poster on sale this week which David Sultan pipped me on at the death (git!) and the Italian tour poster depicting two red bombs. I used to have the latter on me wall at Uni way back, but didn't bother bidding cos I never really liked the poster anyways! I'm not gonna go out of my way to obtain something I don't find aesthetically pleasing, even if it is New Order.

al...it seems you are a collector and owner of some pretty good n.o posters....whats your fav???

i remember getting a poster a few years back with a big no 7 on...cant remember what it denoted...a gig date i think...any ideas???

That'd probably be the one that's in the posters section of this website....
