Susan Blond sent over this update on Thursday about the fate of the rare early Lady Gaga items (including recordings) which were up for auction. The operative word here is "were":GOTTA HAVE IT! along with Lady Gaga's first manager Bob Leone have agreed to pull all seven Gaga items from the current Rock & Roll Pop Culture Auction.
GOTTA HAVE IT! and Leone, the consigner of all Lady Gaga material, are very happy to be an instrumental part in bringing the music created by Stefanie Germanotta back to its rightful owner. A deal was reached with Gaga's management to purchase the items back from the auction house for an undisclosed amount of money.

Rock & Roll Pop Culture auction include: Lady Gaga's never released 2002 original demo CD recording, an original CD dating back to 2005 titled "Stefani Germanotta", "Stefani Germanotta Band, Words" circa 2005 original CD, Lady Gaga 2006 original CD, "Stefani Red and Blue" an original CD from 2006 and Lady Gaga's original 2006 OSIA showcase performance DVD.
