Description
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead, Greek white label advance copy (VG 50187) with different sleeve. Sleeve and vinyl are in a very good condition (see pictures).
Description of this Greek advance LP on Passions Just Like Mine:
This item was allegedly sent to media people ahead of the release of the album. It looks like an early variation of the final product and nowhere on its packaging is this marked as a promo or an advance copy. Besides minor differences in the shades of green and pink which may or may not be attributed to a printing variation, quite a few differences are found on the back of the sleeve and on the labels. The most obvious difference is the labels. Instead of the usual green and red Virgin labels, these are white with a very pale grey Virgin logo in the background. The text on them is identical and laid out the same as the final text, except for the credits around the outer edge which end with "Made in Greece by Fabelsound" instead of "Made in Greece by EMI". The line "Made and printed in Greece by EMI GREECE S.A." is missing from the back of the sleeve and the song titles there are not preceded with the usual black flag-like symbols. The sleeve is a single one and the record is slipped inside a white paper inner sleeve.
The standard Greek single sleeve and LP are not included in this auction. The pictures are used to show the difference between both releases only.
