A studio reference mix tape featuring unreleased versions of She's Lost Control and Atmosphere sold for a record amount on Ebay. The tape, which also features some Cabaret Voltaire tracks, includes a recording of Martin Hannet chatting to studio staff as he tunes Stephen Morris's drum kit.

Update: this tape did not contain any Joy Division tracks that hadn't been released before.

Ian Curtis's kitchen table:

At the end of 2005 we had an email from Paul and Vicky in Macclesfield. They were redecorating their house, which meant there would be no place for the kitchen table ... Ian and Deborah Curtis's old kitchen table.

Vicky's mum used to run a bed and breakfast across the road from 77 Barton Street and bought the house, with some contents, from Deborah Curtis. Years later Vicky had inherited the table when setting up her own home.

We put them in touch with Deborah Curtis and the original plan was for Natalie to have the table. However, that didn't come to fruition and the table sold on Ebay for £100.

Deborah recalls her parents buying it in the 1950s, although it has a British Standard sticker on the underside with the date 1960. The table is 95cm long by 75cm wide normally, with two flaps which allow it to extend to approx 150cm in length.

Sex Pistols - Free Trade Hall ticket:

It was revealed at a Buzzcocks talk (at Urbis, Manchester 2005) that the tickets were made by Howard Devoto on a Bandermaster. Here's how someone who was at the talk describes it: "Do you remember that system they used to use in schools whereby you typed onto waxed paper, stuck it in a bizarre hand-wound contraption and made multiple copies of your typing? He did the tickets on that. I think he said there were four tickets per A4 sheet - and he cut them all out"

Bedge was at the original concert and sent us the ticket scan:
"Here's a scan of my Pistols gig ticket from 4th June 1976. It was stamped and organised by BITSU (Bolton Institute of Technology Students Union) apparently. It says Pistols plus Buzzcocks, but a hippy band called Solstice played instead. I went to this gig with Barney, Hooky, Terry, and another school mate called Crazy Mike. Remember seeing Mc Claren at the exit, and also recall (probably) John the Postman "dancing", how loud the Pistols were, and how friendly Rotten was at the end. Ian et al also were in attendance apparently, but didn't know this at the time"

Mystery Setlist:

Bryan Kee has sent us this scan of a set list he obtained from a journalist some time ago. It's the original, and is in Ian's handwriting, apart from the encores.

So does anyone know which concert this setlist came from?

Here's what we know:

The set list was obtained from a journalist
It's written on thin paper torn from a book.
The date is uncertain
The journalist probably wrote the encores (blue ink) on the set list himself

Another Setlist:

Bedge sent us this one saying "The set list probably came from when they came to London and we all stayed in the Priority Hotel in Queensgate (at the time of the Hope and Anchor and marquees gigs)".

Promo sheet:

Another submission from Bedge who tells us - "Looks like some kind of promo that they intended doing, but as Leebo and Platty were mentioned, it must have been really early. Upper Camp Street is in Broughton where they used to rehearse".

Scala advert:

Another submission from Bedge - " The Scala poster was a bit later. Ian had met/was with Annik, and JD were due to play as "friends" but didn't (probably coz Ian wasn't up to it). It was a great night however. I remember having a long a fun packed chat with Ian and Annik in the bar and with various Factory/Final Solution lot. Good times"!
