Smiths WIlliam Italian 12"; Alt take of How Soon is Now
Description
This Smiths record is a promotional copy of the legendary Italian 12" of 'William, It Was Really Nothing' that unintentially included of an alternate take of 'How Soon is Now' on the b-side.
More information about the record taken from the Passions Just Like Mine website:
"This item is a very important one for many collectors. Over the years the item has gotten more and more sought after because of the accidental inclusion of an alternate studio outtake of "How Soon Is Now" on side B. The sleeve is slightly smaller than usual (by half a cm in heigth and about 1cm in width), its colour is a brighter green than in the UK and the name of the band on the front is in black. The back and labels feature the usual layout and colours plus additional Virgin credits and catalogue number. The record doesn't come with an inner sleeve.
The stock 12" of "William, It Was Really Nothing" is one of the Smiths' most collectible items, and promo stamped copies of it are even scarcer."
Rated #9 in Record Collector's Top 100 Smiths rarities.
This record is a promo copy as the A-side label has the Italian promo stamp.
Cat# VINX71
Condition:
Record is Near Mint. Sleeve is in great condition as it has been kept in the original shrink wrap. There is a small flaw in the sleeve, though, due to a very slight tear (0.6cm) tear on the front edge of the upper part of the opening on the right side. It is not outstanding, however, and does not overall detract significantly from the record's sleeve.
Free Shipping by EMS express international mail (includes tracking and some insurance). Extra insurance optional.
Sales Policy:
Please place a bid only if you're serious about buying the item. If the seller is unable to establish contact with the winning bidder within 3 days of the end of the auction, item may be relisted.
