Dry Bar - 23.11.1990
Back in 1990 there was an auction of items donated by local bands, Factory and The Hacienda in aid of Children In Need that year. Here is a merged version of the 4 page list of what was on offer.
The New Order 'synthesizer' was in fact the Oberheim DMX drum machine, apparently with the patterns still programmed in, so who got that?

Abigail says: Dope artefact, JSZ. You should upload more!jsz says: I noticed the other day that lot 37, the Ideal For Living sleeve signed by Hooky, has made an appearance at Hooky's Joy Division Exhibition at FAC251. It still has the reserve price stuck on the poly sleeve.rain says: hey jz - i've already uploaded these ... what you doing trying to sink my battleship?jsz says: Yeah, but mine was more accurate (1990 not 1992), not to mention nicely edited into one upload.rain says: I remember New Order's Stephen Morris and Peter Hook were comperes. Unfortunately I don't remember too much because, with it being held in Dry Bar, of course we started getting pretty drunk. by the end I was pretty hammered.However what I do remember is how cheap a load of the stuff went for. there weren't actually that many people there - a lot of those there were involved in it.
The official Stone Roses silver disc (made out to John Squire I think) ended up going for £200. The New Order synth used on Blue Monday hardly shifted- i think it went for £90 in the end. stephen morris pointed out that it still had the floppy disc in it with Blue Monday drum pattern on it.
At the time I was working at Vinyl Exchange (second-hand record shop) and we donated the Joy Division 'Ideal for Living' single which Peter Hook signed. I don't remember how much it sold for but it wasn't much. it's worth around £1000 now i think.
I bought seven raffle tickets and 5 of them won! I came away with a load of Northside stuff, signed Happy Mondays, Joy Division/New Order records and a crackin' hangover.If you'd like to leave a comment, please LOG IN
Inspiral Carpets
Submitted by Robin Blackburn
Inspiral Carpets were one of the surprise successes of the late-80s ‘Madchester’ scene. Formed in 1986 in Oldham, the band went through numerous early line-up changes before achieving success with their distinctive keyboard-driven psychedelic pop/punk sound. In 1989, founder Graham Lambert (guitar), Clint Boon (keyboards) and Craig Gill (drums) were joined by Tom Hingley (vocals) and Martyn Walsh (bass) to complete the band’s classic line-up. Along with the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, the band became regulars on Top of the Pops, had a number 2 hit with their debut album, ‘Life’ (1990), and sold a ton of t-shirts (including the infamous ‘Cool as Fuck’ design, the wearing of which led to one fan being prosecuted for obscenity). Further albums followed: ‘The Beast Inside’ (1991), ‘Revenge of the Goldfish’ (1992) and ‘Devil Hopping’ (1994); the later including the single ‘I Want You’, with guest vocals from The Fall’s Mark E. Smith. The band split amicably shortly afterwards, but reformed for live dates and a new single in 2001. They still continue to gig occasionally.
