? SMITHS MORRISSEY RARE MISPRESSED SHOPLIFTERS 12" AND CARRIER BAG ?
Very rare Smiths mispressed 12" and carrier bag in unplayed condition.
Description from the brilliant passions just like mine website:
UK 12" mispressed [Rough Trade RTT195]
The packaging of this item is perfectly identical to that of the 'proper' edition described above, but the a-side plays "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby" instead of "Shoplifters Of The World Unite". This is usually considered a mispressing although there is reason to believe that the 'mistake' may have been deliberate. See full story from the single's discography page . The number of 'mispressed' copies has been reported to be 900. Of these, 300 were supposedly sold before the single was recalled. The recalled copies have surely since made it back into the collecting world as Rough Trade in the 1990s regularly cleared their storage areas of whatever they could find.
RTT· 195 - A1 / RTT 195 B-1U-1-
UK carrier bag
As an incentive to buyers, and in true Morrissey sense of humour, early copies of the 12" were sold in a white plastic carrier bag showing the Elvis artwork on one side, and the word 'Shoplifter' on the other. View image from the menu on the left of this page.
