Description
The Smiths. Hateful of Hollow.
Rough Trade Records. 1984.
Catalogue number: ROUGH 76.
First issue UK pressing distinguished by gatefold sleeve and Garrod & Lofthouse credit on back cover.
The vinyl is in excellent plus condition with no scratches or hairlines and retaining a deep shine with only sleeve scuffs apparent under strong sunlight.
Play tested. No skips, jumps or repeats.
There is a little background noise on the dead wax between some songs.
Both labels are in excellent condition with one or two faint spindle marks.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent minus condition. A little shelf wear, but very minor and faint ring wear on the rear. There is a faint residue mark to the front from a sticker removal and a faint price imprint. The sleeve is very clean in general and the spine is excellent. The inner picture sleeve is excellent plus.
This record has been cleaned ultrasonically and has been placed in clean pvc lined inner sleeve with the original inner sleeve included.
Shipping will be by FedEx, signature verification, tracked and insured and a record mailer and stiffeners will be used.
The vinyl will be secured outside the outer sleeve to prevent sleeve damage.
Any questions, please ask. Lots more rare records to come!
Buyers from outside Europe, apart from those living in the U.K , please wait for an invoice before paying so I may supply you with postage quotations. Thanks.
No shipping to Russia or Vietnam.
I use the Record Collector's grading system giving separate condition ratings for the Vinyl and Sleeve:
Near Mint (NM) - A nearly perfect record. Has more than likely been played few times or not at all, and the vinyl will show no imperfections during playback. Sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects. The same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Excellent (EX) -The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Sleeve may have slight wear or creasing
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Sleeve, normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.
Good (GD) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. Sleeve suffers from folding, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
