Peter Hook is letting go of his Joy Division memorabilia, which will go up for sale thru Omega Auctions in February. From Spin:
The auction for Peter Hook’s archive of Joy Division instruments, artifacts, and memorabilia has begun taking online bids. Hook’s collection includes his first bass guitar, various amps and pedals used in Joy Division recordings, original typed lyrics, tour posters and itineraries, band correspondence, Factory Records test pressings, Hook’s ticket stub from the 1976 Sex Pistols show that inspired the band’s formation, and more. Items were previewed last month at Record Planet’s 50th Anniversary Fair in Utrecht, Holland and the archive will be exhibited in full at the Omega Auctions headquarters in Newton-Le-Willows, England in February.
