Description

You are bidding on one used "Shakespeare's Sister" 12" record by The SMITHS. This is the original UK version on Rough Trade Records released in 1985 - Catalog RTT 181.  
Picture sleeve is in EX- to EX condition with slight ring wear, some edge peel and some wear in the corners.  Comes with color inner sleeve with discography on one side front cover pic on other.  
Vinyl is in EX to EX+ condition with very light surface scratches - but does not skip during play and very few if any pops/crackles. Has a nice sheen to it still. Contains title track and B-sides: "What she Said" and "Stretch out and Wait".
I combine shipping on multiple auction wins.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
