Description

THE SMITHS - This Charming Man UK 12" ORIGINAL with DOME parody FIRST PRESS
First pressing without band's name "The Smiths" on the cover, Capitol Records parody logo for Rough Trade on both labels and back sleeve, and timtom/CBS mastering on the B-side, identifiable from a wide dead-wax area.
1983 Glad Hips Music

The initial UK release of both the 12” (this) and the 7” featured an alternate Rough Trade logo that was a parody of the classic Capitol Records logo, with a capitol dome over “Rough” in bold cursive over “TRADE” typeset. The logo on the back of the sleeve added an oval ring (also a Capitol hallmark). Morrissey is said to have objected to its use, so the offending logos on the labels were first covered with stickers on both 7” and 12” versions, before altered labels and jackets were printed without the dome. Capitol Records does not appear to have objected to the parody of its trademark, so Rough Trade used the remaining “withdrawn” dome-logo sleeves throughout 1983-84 (especially for export copies), and as a result various combinations of labels and sleeves are common.
