Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
CRAZY RARE original Specialty first pressing on Sire from June 23, 1986 with gatefold cover and printed inner sleeve!!! LP is easily VG+, close to VG++, with a few light paper scuffs. Cover is easily VG+, close to VG++ as well, with a hint of ring. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others was the first song by the Smiths I ever heard and was hooked when I did. Worth the price of admission on its own merit. I was a metal head in the 1980s but when I heard that song I simply could not wrap my mind around how something so drab and world-weary sounding could be so damn catchy. I have spent the rest of my life trying to figure it out.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
