Joy Division/ New Order Master Tapes Found

Postby djcraig » Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:24 am

[i]Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has apparently found rare Joy Division and New Order master tapes when digging up the basement of a new restaurant in Manchester.

The new restaurant, which is being built in a former branch of Midland bank, was being excavated when the tapes were found, alongside guns, gold and jewellery. The total value of the haul is £1.1 million, reports Holy Moly. Oliver has since given everything found in the basement to the treasury. [/i]

As it seems Oliver didn't find anything. The real story is that those tapes used to be in vaults in the bank that used to be there.

A non-story first class, spread by NME and the other UK magazines as a true story. Too good to be true of course.
