As previously reported Peter Hook is auctioning off Joy Division, New Order, Factory-related items, and more from his personal collection on March 2nd. Today Omega Auctions posted the full catalog of items online - it is truly a drool-worthy treasure trove of unique items that Joy Division and Factory Records fans would kill for!
Among the items: Joy Division's Ford transit van with Peter Hook's original driver's license, ticket stub from the legendary 1976 Sex Pistols' Free Trade Hall gig, reels of Martin Hannett's recording/rehearsal tapes including outtakes from Unknown Pleasures and Closer sessions; handwritten, signed lyrics to "Ceremony" and "Failures," an Ian Curtis nameplate (used as a prop in 24 Hour Party People), a ton of Factory Records white label test pressings, Warsaw studio master tape, cassette masters, tons of record sleeves, photos, clothing, CDs, and SO much more.
FYI: there's even some non-Joy Division/New Order/Factory items, including an IKON VHS video of The Smiths and The Birthday Party.

The Peter Hook Signature Collection auction starts March 2nd at 1pm UK time. Viewing exhibitions for the auction kick off February 25th. Proceeds from the auction benefit the suicide prevention charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) as well as an epilepsy charity.
