Description

The Smiths STRANGEWAYS HERE WE COME Vinyl LP - U.K. 1987 1st Pressing ROUGH 106.
For sale is my original copy of STRANGEWAYS HERE WE COME by THE SMITHS bought by me in Piccadilly Records in Manchester in September 1987 the week it came out. I assume this is a 1st pressing therefore. 
The matrix numbers are ROUGH 106 A-2-U-1-5 (Side 1), and B-2-U-1-1 (Side 2). If I understand Discogs correctly these are consistent with stampers used by the EMI pressing plant for the first pressings. I photographed the matrix numbers as best I could - have a good look and make your own mind up. Other identifiers on this copy include "The Smiths" embossed on the cover and "GUY FAWKES WAS A GENIUS" hand etched into the run-out in what looks like Morrissey's handwriting.
Condition: I am not a record dealer -  I'm selling some of my own records as I no longer have a record player. I am not experienced in grading vinyl. I can only give my honest appraisal of this record based on visual inspection. The cover is clean with some minimal wear. The glossy inner sleeve is in great condition. The record is very clean looking with some very slight scuffs and scratches only really visible under a harsh light. Please look carefully at the photographs.
I'm intending to put up several other Smith's records and cassettes in the next few days so if this interests you keep checking my listings.
