Description

Ongoing sale of selected items from my personal collection of vinyl and CDs, the vast majority of which have been owned by me from new and have been safely stored in a smoke-free home. I try to describe each item as accurately as possible (vinyl will normally be play-tested) and therefore don't routinely accept returns - but I'm happy to offer a no quibble refund in the unlikely event that significant defects are found which were not called out in the listing.     
Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking!      
This item....

  • Early UK pressing of The Smiths classic 2nd album 
  • Label / catalogue number - Rough Trade ROUGH 81
  • Matrices - A1 ILLNESS IS ART / B2 DOING THE WYTHENSHAW WALTZ
  • With printed lyric inner
  • Please see my full listing for more lovely albums by The Smiths 
Condition notes.... 
  • I haven't listened to this one for a while having replaced on CD some time ago, but I can't see any marks on the vinyl and from memory it plays excellent throughout, with no loud pops/clicks (I'll update the listing if I get time to play test)
  • I haven't owned this one from new but added a polyliner to the inner from the point of purchase to minimise the development of hairlines   
  • Both labels have a couple of short cracks in the paper near the spindle - no other flaws of note
  • The outer sleeve is very close to mint - there are just a handful of tiny creases on the spine and edges and a bit of age discolouration 
  • The printed inner is also in NM condition, having just the same minor age discolouration (I'm sure the white sections of the outer and inner sleeve were originally a bit brighter)   
Postage notes.... 
  • Records will be dispatched in a high quality custom mailer with additional cardboard within the package 
  • Unless the item is new and still sealed I'll remove the record from both the outer sleeve and any printed inner in order to prevent seam splits in transit  
  • UK - I'll combine postage if buying more than one item - please wait for invoice
  • Rest of the world - Please note that I only sell overseas via ebay's Global Shipping Programme, which sets postages rates and does not appear to include the facility to combine p&p costs for multiple purchases. Please don't bid if you're not prepared to accept GSP costs or process - thanks 
  • And I'm not currently shipping to Belarus, Ukraine or the Russian Federation
Thanks for looking!

Update following play-test: I just detected a couple of very faint pops/clicks so certainly a very strong EX - very close to mint
