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.
