You be the judge. Some snips from the description: "This SYNTHESIZER was the one used by JOY DIVISION on CLOSER L.P. + the CLASSIC LOVE WILL TEAR US APART. For example; HEART and SOUL BASSLINE and STRINGS I can get exactly the sound on the ARP while playing the CD; its quite a feeling, but enough of that if you are not a JD fan like I am. EVEN BETTER ! - The MANUAL has FACTORY RECORDS ADDRESS WRITTEN VERY NEATLY ON THE INSIDE COVER... The HISTORY that I know of; 3 OWNERS ONLY in 30 odd YEARS; FACTORY RECORDS, AN A&R MAN CALLED MARTIN, (who I will not give anymore details about because its not important and hes a NICE BLOKE, anyway thats all you need to know !) and Myself. Martin bought the Synthesizer along with a load of other kit from FACTORY RECORDS in the LATE 1980s when FACTORY was in FINANCIAL difficulties, he never used it, just stored it with lots of other gear, his room was a tresure trove - believe me I saw it ! I managed to get the ARP off him in 1992 and have kept it ever since. THE DISCOGRAPHY (that again I know of, could be more !) CLOSER L.P. JOY DIVISION. LOVE WILL TEAR US APART 7" . JOY DIVISION. Maybe some early NEW ORDER, I know they used some other MODELS of ARP (QUADRA), check out U -TUBE VIDEOS. SUNDAY AFTERNOON BBQ MUSIC. C.D. 1996. FRETLESS AZM / Aka MAX BRENNAN. LOST ARKS C.D. 1997. DELTA T. LIGHTBULB L.P. 1999. DELTA T. ELECTRIC CIRCUS C.D. 2001. DELTA T. THE CHALICE E.P. 2010. CODA PULSE. (Check out Myspace for hearing the ARP on the latter). Finally, why the **** am I selling it ? - Well its the old one, FAMILY over MUSIC ! - No WORK, NO MONEY and many other personal factors - kids to bring up etc... I have to let her go only for the right price though, I have owed her for 18 years and I will really miss playing, but there we go - thats LIFE. ENJOY before its too LATE... GOD BLESS IAN CURTIS R.I.P."

Update:
Joy Division Love will tear us apart BBC version
I would love this if I could afford it.
ReplyDeleteDoes he mean 'Martin' Hannett?
ReplyDelete@bachmaninoff I doubt it, Martine Hannet was the recording guru, and is dead now, whereas the post says "He´s a nice guy..." but good guess...!
ReplyDeleteI recall Bernard Sumner saying they used a Solina on Love Will Tear Us Apart in the BBC4 Synth Brittania special...
ReplyDeleteNew Order is better.
ReplyDeletecant see how this can be joy divisions , as it was stolen along with loads of other gear in New york , when New Order where still using it , so somehow it came back to england and factory records ???????????????
