THE SMITHS

~ THE WORLD WON'T LISTEN ~

(1987 ROUGH TRADE RECORDS - RARE UK WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING!!)

ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE UK WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING OF THE GREAT ALBUM THE WORLD WON'T LISTEN BY THE SMITHS ON THE ROUGH TRADE LABEL

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS ROUGH TRADE ROUGH 101

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE ROUGH 101 A-1U / ROUGH 101 B-1U

THE SLEEVE

THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR, ONE CREASE AND SOME SMALL WRINKLES. THERE ARE SOME SMALL INDENTED MARKS AND THERE IS A BIT OF RUBBING TO THE EDGES. THE OPENING IS NOT FEATHERED. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS ALL FULLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN FAIR CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE LOADS OF MARKS, SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS CLASSIC LP AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS DETERIORATED THROUGHOUT. DURING TRACK ONE ON SIDE ONE I NOTED CLICKS, POPS & CRACKLE, OTHERWISE THE ALBUM PLAYED OK WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE AND THE ODD CLICK AND POP MAINLY BETWEEN TRACKS. THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A PLAYER BUT A NICE COLLECTABLE.

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABEL ON SIDE ONE IS COMPLETELY BLANK AND THE LABEL ON SIDE TWO HAS A RECTANGULAR STICKER WITH BLACK PRINTED TEXT: THE SMITHS "THE WORLD WON'T LISTEN" ROUGH 101. BOTH LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST ONE OR TWO TINY SPINDLE MARKS.
