Description
The is a very rare copy of The Smiths 'Still Ill' with 'You've got everything now' on the B-side and it is Rough Trade R 61 DJ - which means it is an advanced 'DJ Only' copy and 'Not for Sale'.
This is branded on both labels in the middle of the four-pronged cut-out.
It is still in the back sleeve with a 'Beer Davies' sticker, who were the promotional company mailing items out to radio stations.
The vinyl itself is unmarked and in excellent (perhaps near-mint) condition and I don't think it's ever been played.
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.
He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock.
During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies.
Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.
I will be listing quite a few similar items over the coming months, as there are original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies.
All vinyl will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.
Thank you.
