Description

The Smiths 7" single "William It Was Really Nothing" (2:10) c/w "How Soon Is Now?" (6:43).

This is the RARE later issue featuring the Billie Whitelaw purple cover, with a solid center blue label, on UK Rough Trade RTT 166 / Barcode 5 014644 101660.

I've owned this since purchase new at time of release and carefully stored it since in a smoke-free home. I probably played it just once. The glossy sleeve, both labels and vinyl sides remain in MINT, AS NEW condition throughout. 

This comes from my personal 7" single collection by The Smiths from which I'll be listing more items in due course.

Matrix/runout details:

A side: THE IMPOTENCE OF ERNEST etched / RT 166 A-1U-1-3-18 stamped

B side: WE HATES BAD GRAMMER etched /  RT 166 B-2U-1-2-2 stamped

FREE P&P by Royal Mail Special Delivery (UK only). Overseas Bidders welcome but please contact me for a shipping quote first.

Please check back soon as I'll be listing many original UK Rough Trade 7" single releases by The Smiths, for the most part all in similar mint condition.
