Description:

This is an (Exercise-Book Lined Paper) authentically autographed by Bernard Albrecht, Ian Curtis, Stephen Morris And Commented by “Section 25” After The Malvern Winter Gardens Gig on 5th April 1980. Additionally, an Original 7in EP Produced by Ian Curtis and Rob Gretton for Section 25 “Girls Don’t Count”.

This Ian Curtis authentic autograph is (Extremely Rare) because, Ian hardly ever writes his complete first name when autographing, preferring to economise with a swift (I) or (IN) as a first name.

This is perhaps a reflection of a humble timid nature, most likely reluctant to seem to boast his own name, “Who Knows?” However, to this effect there is some indication, because in the entire published writings of Ian Curtis, there is not one single “Signed, Autographed or even Initialled” work/paper of his own artistry.

So this rare Ian Curtis authentic autograph with its apparent openness is most likely a true reflection of that very special Gig on that Malvern Winter Gardens evening of 5th April 1980, of which recordings are widely available.

Moreover, Section 25 were good friends of Joy Division, and they all had a great time jamming the last song with Ian “Girls Don’t Count”, as they also indicate their delight and pleasure on the paper with “a good night and a good audience”.

The autographed paper is in excellent condition, and is inside an acid-free easy to remove holder. The back of the autographed paper has an old sign of sticky-tape, as it was probably once displayed on a surface/wall, however, this doesn’t show to the front of the (Exercise-Book Lined Paper).

The original Section 25 “Girls Don’t Count” 7in EP is in excellent condition, and is inside an acid-free easy to remove holder, and the EP display is 8in x 12in large.

To Note:

Ian Curtis (AUTHENTIC) autographs are “ULTRA RARE”, and to know them from experience is very important, so this presented collection has offered to everyone a knowledgebase to look back at.

By now, with all the past decades of worldwide internet sale possibilities, and the staggering amount of awareness relating to the value of authentic Joy Division Autographs/Items, it can be very safely assumed that (ALL) their authentic autographs have shown-up, if there is “One More”, then it really needs to be looked at Very Closely.

The facts speak for themselves to this effect, WARSAW/Joy Division had a very short life as a group, by the time they were a little more known, and anyone noticed them, their state of affairs were in tatters, every Gig they did and coming close to the audience was like walking a tightrope, to complete any Gig or recording safely was with a saved breath and a sigh of relief.

It can be said from experience and observation reflected in this collection, that all the very few known authentic Joy Division autographs were obtained by the very few people who had really noticed and liked Joy Division before the Joy Division world was properly turned upside-down. And the few authentic Joy Division autographs after that were just fragments of incomplete band signatures.

To highlight these facts even more, it’s enough to just look at these old authentic autographs offered in this collection to see that all of them had on the back sticky-tape or glue-tack, indicating that they were obtained by individuals who really did like Joy Division, so they displayed their autographs that they had put-in a sincere effort to obtain.

In conclusion, if there were a very few more once obtained by less interested individuals Joy Division autographs, then it can be safely assumed that these autographs “If Any” ended-up in the dustbin.
