Description
The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive, you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging in a 'box' mailer with the record outside the sleeve to avoid seam-splitting. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.
Morrissey - 17 Original Pressing UK 12" Singles: 1988 - 1995
Between 1988 and 1995, prior to the release of 'Alma Matters' in 1997, Morrissey released 21 singles in the UK. Of these, the last three ('Dagenham Dave', 'The Boy Racer' and 'Sunny') were never released on 12" vinyl, leaving 18 singles which were available in the 12" format during this period. This auction is for 17 of those 18 12" records, the missing one being 'Interlude'. These are all original releases, having never been re-issued, and have become increasingly rare in recent times; some of these particularly so. All of these singles are in their original picture sleeves and have been well looked after. There is no writing, tears or other damage on any of the sleeves and no scratches on any of the vinyl. Don't miss this opportunity to get hold of such an extensive collection before they become impossibly rare.The postage (particularly overseas, see details) represents good value compared to the extremely high price of buying them individually and paying the postal prices separately on each.
The condition in detail is as follows:
'Suedehead' (Cat: 12POP 1618): The vinyl is in near mint condition with barely any surface marks at all. The record is probably unplayed and comes in a black thick inner sleeve. The outer picture sleeve is also in near mint condition, having its terrific original glossy finish. The edges are sharp and there is only very minor corner wear in a few places and so signs of seam-splitting due to the record having been stored outside of its sleeve.
'Everyday Is Like Sunday' (Cat: 12POP 1619): The vinyl is in near mint condition, having been played very few times and having next to no surface marks. The record is as-issued in a plain black inner sleeve. The outer picture sleeve is also in near mint condition with just some very minor corner wear in a few places.

All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 7.00 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will usually be higher. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. Extra items are sent at no extra postage charge to the buyer (see below). I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.See my other auctions for related rare items here. If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remaining postage myself. This is the case wherever you live.
