THE SMITHS
"RANK"
Numbered, Ltd Edition, 2 x 10" Vinyl
RARE 1993 release on WEA Records (SMITHS 7)

For Sale:

THE SMITHS - "RANK" (2 x 10 inch vinyl LP set)
Limited Edition Number - #2540

Rare, original 1993 copy of The Smiths' classic live album, on two 10" vinyl discs, containing 14 tracks. Pressed in Germany for the UK market (as were many WEA records from this period). Both discs and sleeve are in excellent condition.

Please note that these limited edition numbered 10" pressings were never meant to be the best audiophile pressings and were aimed solely at the collectors market. All copies appear to have had light, visual, storage or pressing marks when they were originally released, but play absolutely fine, with no noticeable deterioration in sound quality. 

Carefully stored since purchase in 1993 and played, only rarely, in a smoke-free home, this item comes in it's original shrink-wrap, which I have carefully removed for the purpose of taking these photos and subsequently replaced, with equal care.
