Rare New Order/Joy Division Posters

I'm posting this simply cos I was lucky enough to pick up a few hard-to-find colour promotional posters of Closer, Atmosphere, Low Life and Thieves Like Us at the university college music collectors spring fair recently. How rare are some of these items? Are they fetching a lot of money on e-bay or similar? I don't come across them very often so I'm assuming that a lot of them are much sought-after these days.

I presume some of you guys may know much more about the scarcity value of some of these posters. Which ones are the rarest as far as you know? It would be nice to get a lowdown on these, thanks.

Do you have a picture of your Atmosphere poster ? Is it the as same 12" sleeve ?

This poster is approx 20" x 32" and has the words Joy Division and the word "Atmosphere" in some futuristic type lettering - on a white background. There is also a small black and white image below it of Ian Curtis.

Is this the one you're referring to, or is there an earlier, more collectable version?

I am referring to this :

Okay - that must be the first original cover image then.

Too bad I don't have that one.

I guess the one I have must be either an unofficial version or it could be the later one - when the single was issued again in 1988. I've seen the promo video of this and it features the very same image of Ian Curtis - as on this poster - being paraded by some figures in cloaks. Is that right?

You are right.

Dunno if you have these Al - but you are welcome to them next time I head back to Worcester.

Posters: Birmingham Tower 2/10/86 1984 tour (of course you have this !) Birmingham Powerhouse 84 Oxford Apollo 86 (not very good)

They've all spent years on walls and as such have blu-tak and sellotape marks on edges, but apart from that are OK as far as I recall.
