Description
The Smiths LP Meat Is Murder 1985 Sire/Reprise - Vintage Vinyl - Morrissey Marr
I bought this record upon US release and then decided to donate it to my school radio station where I had a show. Then, upon leaving, I relented as the station was shut down. So, it has radio station call letters on the cover and label, but it still plays well. And if you’re looking at this listing, you already know how good this record is. There will never be a sound like this again, sadly. Original inner sleeve with lyrics.
Hasn’t been touched in forever. Selling off my indie record collection to pay my student loans. Nearly 30 years worth! Tough times….
Ships in a dedicated box.
Comes with a manhole cover magnet made by rethinktankdesign
