This is The Smiths 'The Queen Is Dead' UK LP on the Rough Trade label from 1986.  The LP comes in a gatefold cover with printed lyrics and a inner sleeve.  The cover is still in near mint condition with some minor blemishes.  The labels are in excellent condition with hardly any sign of spindle marks.  The vinyl has 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The vinyl looks near mint, really bright, clean and virtually unmarked.  Playback is superb with virtually no surface noise except some very light crackle in places.  This is really nice well looked after vinyl.

In general the vinyl is in near mint condition.  It looks very clean, bright and virtually unmarked.  Playback is superb with virtually no surface noise except some very light crackle in places.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
