Buzzcocks manager Richard Boon and frontman Pete Shelley have both been credited with suggesting the band call themselves the Stiff Kittens, and they were billed under this name for their first public performance, but the band instead chose the name Warsaw shortly before the gig, in reference to the song "Warszawa" by David Bowie.[7][8][9] Warsaw played their first gig on 29 May 1977, supporting the Buzzcocks, Penetration, and John Cooper Clarke at the Electric Circus.[9] The band received national exposure due to reviews of the gig in the NME by Paul Morley and in Sounds by Ian Wood.[10][11] Tony Tabac played drums that night after joining the band two days earlier.[9][12] Mason was soon made the band's manager and Tabac was replaced on drums in June 1977 by Steve Brotherdale, who also played in the punk band Panik.[13] During his tenure with Warsaw, Brotherdale tried to get Curtis to leave the band and join Panik and even got Curtis to audition for the band.[14][15] In July 1977, Warsaw recorded a set of five demo tracks at Pennine Sound Studios,Oldham.[16] Uneasy with Brotherdale's aggressive personality, the band fired him soon after the demo sessions. Driving home from the studio, they pulled over and asked Brotherdale to check on a flat tyre; when he got out of the car, they sped off.[17] 

In August 1977, the band placed an advertisement in a music shop window seeking a replacement drummer. Stephen Morris, who had attended the same school as Curtis, was the sole respondent. Deborah Curtis, Ian's wife, stated that Morris "fitted perfectly" with the other men, and that with his addition Warsaw became a "complete 'family'".[18] In order to avoid confusion with the London punk band Warsaw Pakt, the band renamed themselves Joy Division in early 1978, borrowing their new name from the prostitution wing of a Nazi concentration camp mentioned in the 1955 novel The House of Dolls.[15][19] In December, the group recorded what became their debut EP, An Ideal for Living at Pennine Sound Studio and played their final gig as Warsaw on New Year's Eve at The Swinging Apple in Liverpool.[20] Billed as Warsaw to ensure an audience, the band played their first gig as Joy Division on 25 January 1978 at Pip's Disco in Manchester.[21]

REGISTERED POST FOR THIS AUCTION IS OPTIONAL. IF REQUIRED, AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $3.20 per parcel WITHIN AUSTRALIA APPLIES. 

I'm not a prolific seller, but if you win more than one auction item over a period of a few days, then yes: of course I'll combine postage to save you money. It saves me time and it saves you money. Oh, yeah and it saves the planet's resources too....

general rules:

1: please bid with the intention of paying. non paying bidders will receive the treatment they deserve.

2: my general expectation is for the buyer to please pay within 5 days after end of auction, but if this is difficult we can come to a sensible arrangement. Please contact me before placing a bid if some arrangement needs to be made.

3: payment in Australia by Paypal, bank deposit or postal order. Sending cash for payment in the post is just dumb, no matter how well concealed.

4: payment from outside Australia is by Paypal only, unless in exceptional circumstances, in which case you will need to contact me before placing a bid.

5: by all means, ask questions but don't leave it to the last minute. I also have a life outside of ebay so I'm not always online.

6: if you have less than 10 feedback, or less than 99% positive feedback, please contact me before you bid, to demonstrate your genuine intention to complete the transaction. We all have to start somewhere, but once bitten, twice shy.

7: sorry, no local pick up of items

8: I will post the winning bidder's item(s) the following business day after payment is received.

9: no postal loss or damage claims will be entertained unless the buyer has paid for additional trackable postage. I pack everything carefully but once the item is in the hands of the postal authorities I cannot control what happens to it. Everything I sell, I post and keep the postal receipt. Check my feedback in doubt.

10: For certain countries with questionable postal systems I may insist on additional trackable post at the buyers expense. Sorry Italy - this means you. And Bulgaria. Apologies buyers in those countries, it's not your fault.
