Description
Original UK Rough Trade (ROUGH 76) pressing of this CLASSIC album. Comes with MoFi inner sleeve. This is the VERY FIRST run of this album. I have been a long time Smiths/Morrissey collector. 1st press LPs come with an indented label, which this one has. I am selling some of my Smiths/Morrissey collection so stay tuned. ALL UK PRESSINGS (AKA the BEST way to hear their material.)
MATRIX IDENTIFICATION:
A- The Impotence of Being Earnest (Iare) Rough 76 A1
B- (Iare) Rough 76 B1
Grading:
Sleeve: Close to NM
I would grade this Near Mint but it has the slightest case of rubbing on the corners. Still, this is ONE OF THE BEST covers of this album I have ever seen. Nice sharp corners, Clean spine, No rips or tears. Stored in a poly-lined outer sleeve since new.
Record: VG (Play-graded on Technics turntable with AT440mla cartridge and Grado Headphones as well as a test on speakers.)
This record sounds clean for the most part. HOWEVER, there is a radial scratch on the A side that affects the end of a track and the beginning of a new one (lasts for about 1 min.). Also, there are some crackles here and there (mostly on quiet passages).
You will NEVER get a bogus NM from me. I am a conservative grader who actually knows the Goldmine Standards (unlike most ebayers). All records are shipped in record mailers with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped corners as well as the record put outside of its sleeve to prevent seam splits.
HAPPY BIDDING!
