Looking for examples of Ian Curtis (Joy Division) and Sandy Denny (Fotheringay etc.)

I realise that this thread is probably doomed to get zero replies but does anyone have examples of Ian Curtis (with or without the rest of Joy Division) or the folk singer Sandy Denny (with or without Fotheringay, Fairport Convention, Strawbs or the other groups she was in)?

I would pay very good money for good examples but I'd also be interested just to see what anyone has. There are precious few on line.

Any other interesting vintage memorabilia would also be interesting to see but maybe that is too "off topic" for this site.

Wish I could help, but good luck in your quest.

I imagine Ian Curtis would be rare and very desirable. Great artist with so much potential.

Love Will Tear Us Apart... an anthem of college radio when I was in school. I get chills even thinking about it. So powerful and haunting.

Thanks Steve.

Indeed Joy Division were a very special group even though they only had two true studio albums and most of the band thought Unknown Pleasures was over-produced and too depressing.

I have held a Transmission picture sleeve single supposedly signed by Curtis at West Runton (ca. 20 miles from my home town) but I was sceptical as the gig took place before the official release date of the single (or at least the release date I could find). Curtis is also often faked. I have not found more than a handful of "accepted genuine" examples on the internet.

Sandy Denny is another artist who died far too young. I'm not generally into folk and she is very different from Joy Division and most of the other people I like but there is something special about her compositions and voice. I have found even less examples of her solo signature. I haven't searched for group signed items as I'd rather have a solo signed example.

you are certainly not alone on Joy Division Pug, is a definite for my list too, a superb band and a huge influence on many that followed. Getting a genuine signature of his is made even more difficult with Hook saying he signed for Curtis a lot of the time. I think the handful you have found is all that's out there at the mo. There was a signed page a couple of months ago on the Bay, not sure if its still on the sold results or not.

Not for sale (sorry) but I've not long uploaded an early example of Sandy Denny's autograph as found on the inner sleeve of What We Did On Our Holidays LP. Very lucky find by me recently.
