[edit] General Notes
Basically I've just pulled what I can from Google, plus added a couple of bands I remember.
The 'engaged to Paul Conroy' - Ruth told me this herself - dec 1980 I think.
The 'Joy Division encore' - C Spencer on Danceteria list.
Please feel free to add items. Then we can try tidy it up into a more of narrative later.
Hard to believe there isn't a Danceteria wikipedia entry, eh?

[edit] Joy Div Tour
Question: Did Ruth book that 1980 Joy Div usa tour that never happened?

Ruth did book the Joy Division tour for May 1980 - they were due to arrive in NYC a couple days after The Raincoats arrived - I remember this so well as I was in the Rough Trade office at the time. Shirley Shirley O 10:03, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm of two minds on this - I deliberately put it up there because it mentions her pioneering role in video - was that really her idea, tho? - and the destiny of her collection, which took up a whole wall of her apartment, was an issue. I'll check with Danny Cornyetz on the vid. I'll rewrite the collection bit including both sides, I guess.

I spoke with Parker Delaney about this. He says that Ruth's friends were all very keen for her collection to go to the ARChive, who had promised to set aside a whole seperate room just dedicated to Ruth. Despite this, her family were not impressed, and wanted just to sell the records. Howard Thomson then found a buyer, at what many felt was not the best possible rate. Parker also mentions another case of music memorabilia, which the family seemed intent on giving away, that he suggested they should retain as a "time capsule" but without too much hope. joly Wwwhatsup 01:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
