Description

The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive, you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.

The Smiths - 'Ask', German Black Vinyl 12" - 1986

Catalogue no. 6.20676 - Teldec Zensor

This very nice item is the German 12" issue of the 'Ask' single, housed in its striking 'Colin Campbell' sleeve which was limited to the German releases. The vast majority of these singles appearing on the market are in the clear vinyl format, but a few exist in black vinyl which seem to be considerably harder to find. This record has been stored outside of its outer sleeve, as these German releases were particularly prone to seam splitting given that there would have been originally no inner sleeve present. Consequently, both record and sleeve here have survived in superb condition and there is none of the splitting which often arises.

The vinyl and labels are in near mint condition, with the vinyl having no surface marks and being bright and glossy in appearance; the record clearly having been played once or twice at most. The outer sleeve is also, remarkably, in near mint condition, with the mildest of rubbing to a few of the corners being the only sign of wear visible. There are no appreciable creases, none of the aforementioned seam-splitting, and there is no writing or tears to the sleeve anywere. Please see the accompanying photos; note that the ID lettering is just on the pictures and not on the item itself.

All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 2.50 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will usually be higher. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. Extra items are sent at no extra postage charge to the buyer (see below). I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.

See my other auctions for related rare items here. If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remaining postage myself. This is the case wherever you live.
