THE SMITHS HATFUL OF HOLLOW 1st UK ROUGH TRADE A1 B3 MORRISSEY

$

25

I'm selling some of my personal collection of rare records. Most of them are imports and are the best sounding versions that are available of each album. I have taken good care of my records by putting them in plastic outer sleeves and storing them vertically. I always clean my records with a VPI with Audio Intelligent fluids, sprayed them with an anti static gun and then put them in MoFi inner sleeves. I have always played them on quality audio equipment and have used a carbon fiber brush before each  play. However, I am not the original owner of my record collection, so any faults are caused by previous owner(s). Although I'm quite a new seller, I'm a careful record collector and grader. My feedback shows for it.

'HATFUL OF HOLLOW'

These original UK Rough Trade LPs are considered to have the best sound quality of anything by The Smiths!

                    ROUGH 76 B3       (EIRE)      

THE VINYL  

VISUAL

Scuffs but none affect play. There are some spindle marks on the label.

AUDIO

VG   (VG is not trash by my standards, unlike other sellers)

Static in the run-in. Light crackling in some quiet pars and between tracks. There is a sequence of moderate pops at the end of track B2 and the beginning of B3. Few instances of light crackling during songs, but none overpower music.

 Light shelf wear

Edge wear at the bottom and bottom of spine

One corner bump on the back cover

Few creases along the edges of spine.

THE INNER SLEEVE   VG+ 

ORIGINAL BLUE INNER WITH LYRICS (1 INCH SEAM SPLIT ON SIDE)

POSTAGE DETAILS:

I ship my records through USPS Media Mail. I use professional record mailers with cardboard stiffeners. I will put the record and inner sleeve outside of the cover to avoid seam splits during shipping.
