Description

The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive, you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.

Morrissey - 'Roy's Keen' UK 12" - 1997

Catalogue no. 12 IS 671 - Island Records

This is the second of the three 'Maladjusted'-era UK 12" Morrissey singles that I am listing this week and this is possibly the rarest of them all, having been listed at Number 44 in a recent Morrissey 'Top 50' Record Collector article. Very few seem to have been pressed by 'Island Records'. For so long had I gone without finding one of these that it was a slightly strange sight to finally see the sleeve artwork in its 12" format! It is truly a pleasure to own, and this particular copy has been preserved in outstanding condition (see below). You might not see another of these for sale in a long time.

The heavyweight vinyl and labels are in at least strong excellent condition, with just the lightest of 'hairline' surface marks in a few places which can only bee seen if held to the light; the record is almost certainly unplayed. The thick cardboard outer sleeve is in near mint condition, with no creases, seam splits, writing or any other damage anywhere. There are also practically no signs of wear; the spine and edges are all sharp and unworn and there is not even any significant corner wear to speak of. This is a truly outstanding example of this rare record. Please see the accompanying photos for more detail; note that the 'Ebay ID' lettering is just on the pictures and not on the item itself.

All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 2.00 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will, of course, be greater. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.

See my other auctions for related rare items here. If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remainder myself. This is the case wherever you live.
