Description

THE SMITHS - This Charming Man - Solid Centre/Glad Hips with alternate rare sleeve

!!LOOKS TOTALY UNPLAYED!!

SECOND UK 7" SINGLE RELEASE 1983 on GLAD HIPS MUSIC

Own an early piece of SMITHS vinyl history!! **Rough Trade RT136**

Classic Rough Trade early layout, beige labels with brown text. 

As the Smiths grew in popularity and the single sold out, more copies had to be pressed with slight changes to it’s original layout. 

Six versions have been reported…

VINYL; this is the original 7” version 1: so has Capitol-style logo, publishers are Glad Hips & original solid centre with no anti slip serrations! 

RT-136 A-3U-1- / RT-136 B-1U-1- Correct dead wax etchings A-side "TimTom-cbs”  & B-side "Slap Me On The Patio” 

HARD TO FIND & EXTREMLY RARE IN THIS CONDITION!! Simply stunning condition… looks absolutely pristine. 

I have never test played but looks mint & without any faults to the naked eye.

SLEEVE: Comes with sought after alternate sleeve; identical to the regular 7" one but...

It has Portland Street, Manchester address for Glad Hips on the back (see pics), under the usual credits. 

Only a certain number of these sleeves were produced & they seem to have been kept in storage by Rough Trade...

Later salvaged by some employee and resurfaced at some point during the 1990s. Looks stunning!

Original 7” single classic Rough Trade layout with RARE alternate sleeve… don’t miss out!!

Postage £4.99 to UK ONLY. International postage available if buyer covers costs

Will post in generic white inner & pvc outer to fully protect both vinyl & pic sleeve
