THE SMITHS STRANGEWAYS HERE WE COME 1st UK ROUGH TRADE A2 B2

$

25

I'm selling some of my personal collection of rare records. Most of them are imports and are the best sounding versions that are available of each album. I have taken good care of my records by putting them in plastic outer sleeves and storing them vertically. I always clean my records with a VPI with Audio Intelligent fluids, sprayed them with an anti static gun and then put them in MoFi inner sleeves. I have always played them on quality audio equipment and have used a carbon fiber brush before each  play. However, I am not the original owner of my record collection, so any faults are caused by previous owner(s). Although I'm quite a new seller, I'm a careful record collector and grader. My feedback shows for it.

THE SMITHS

'STRANGEWAYS, HERE WE COME'

These original UK Rough Trade LPs are considered to have the best sound quality of anything by The Smiths!

Label    ROUGH 106

                    ROUGH 106 B-2U-1-4

THE VINYL  

VISUAL

VG

Has scuffs and some bad looking marks that look like spots -- they don't affect play as far as I know. Labels are free of spindle marks. Any faults to the label are caused by manufacturing.

AUDIO

VG   (VG is not trash by my standards, unlike other sellers)

Static in the run-in. Crackling during quiet sections and between tracks. A few pops. Still sounds loud, powerful and with no distortion.

THE SLEEVE     VG+ 

ORIGINAL SLEEVE WITH EMBOSSED, BROWN LETTERING

Printed by  -   UNCREDITED

Very light shelf wear

Corner bumps

Small seam split on the top of the sleeve.

THE  REST IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO EDGE WEAR.

THE INNER SLEEVE   EX+ 

ORIGINAL PICTURED INNER WITH LYRICS IN PRETTY MUCH IMMACULATE CONDITION

POSTAGE DETAILS:

I ship my records through USPS Media Mail. I use professional record mailers with cardboard stiffeners. I will put the record and inner sleeve outside of the cover to avoid seam splits during shipping.
