Description
Hello!
The record is in good condition all around. A strange promo stamp version of a 1986 Sire / Rough Trade "The Queen is Dead" by The Smiths. I could not find another version of this elsewhere to get info on, so I found the closest details I could from Discogs and posted below. If you are a collector seeking a specific version out, I'm happy to provide more details, photos, whatever. This will ship via well packed Media Mail with Shipcover insurance for final value.
Write with any questions you may have or if you'd like more detailed photos or info. Check out my other hardcore, punk, metal vinyl and cd auctions! Each additional record is only 1.50 extra in shipping.
This item has been visually graded only - a cursory check for flaws, warps, scratches and general condition of the sleeve, inserts and record.
The following info was pulled from Discogs (not 100% confident this corresponds perfectly to the one I'm selling, but appears close)
