THE SMITHS Hand In Glove 7" Morrissey Rough Trade 131 Manchester ORIG 1st Press

$

70

This auction is for a rare original pressing of The Smiths classic DEBUT 7" released in 1983 before the band had any LPs under their belt. It features "Hand In Glove" as well as "Handsome Devil"! This particular copy features the Manchester address on the back of the 7" sleeve and a solid center label (NON-push out). The vinyl is in NM- shape with no signs of use or wear present (Looks to be unplayed and extremely well kept). VERY clean center labels that are solid and look to be untouched and unused! Sleeve is in VG++ shape. This is a very nice copy of an original Rough Trade pressing with the Manchester address. A great piece for any Smiths or Morrissey collector out there! I photographed the sleeve with extreme light on it so you could see that the jacket is in fantastic shape (any small creases would be evident under such light). This record and sleeve are in fantastic shape with no creases present on the sleeve. Please see photos or ask questions before bidding.

• SS  Still Sealed 
• M  Mint - Perfect in all ways.
• M- Mint Minus - Near perfect, most likely and unplayed record
• NM- Near Mint Minus - Extremely well cared for record. Probably a record that's been around for some years but extremely well looked after, but still not quite new enough to call Mint.
• VG++ Very Good Plus - As close to NM as it comes.
• VG+  Very Good Plus - Very close to like new with only superficial signs of use that do not affect playability. Only records stored and used with care will grade out to VG+.
• VG Very Good - A used, reasonable copy that plays. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of some light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still nice and playable.
• VG- Very Good Minus - A record with significant wear and marks. Records graded VG-usually have some noticeable surface noise.
• G+ Good Plus. 'Good' means pretty beat up. From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about extremely beat up records.
