Description
The Smiths - 'Debut Album' Japanese LP - 1984
Catalogue no. 25RTL-6 - Tokuma Records
This auction is for a very rare edition of The Smiths' 1984 debut album on Tokuma Japanese vinyl. This item is complete with the original OBI strip and fold-out 6 page insert containing Japanese and English lyrics together with photos of the band. This copy is particularly collectable in that it comes with an extremely rare red flexi disc featuring an interview done in October 1983 at Strawberry Studios during the recording of the album. This flexi disc accompanied the very first copies of the Japanese LP sold, and has become highly sought-after in recent times. In Record Collector's Top 100 list of Smiths collectables the LP (with flexi disc) was placed at Number 18 and given a value of 100.00 (see photo).The record itself is mint, with the vinyl and labels showing no discernable sign of having been played; there are no marks at all on the vinyl. The flexi disc is also in absolutely mint condition. The lyric insert shows practically no signs of handling and the sleeve and OBI strip are in strong excellent condition, retaining their original glossy sheen and having no major signs of wear. There are only very light bumps to one or two of the corners of the sleeve and all edges are sharp with no seam splits. The OBI strip has very minor 'ripples' in places only. Please see the accompanying photos for more detail; note that the yellow 'Ebay ID' lettering is just on the pictures and not on the item itself.
