The Smiths were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1982, composed of singer Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke, and drummer Mike Joyce. Morrissey and Marr formed the band's songwriting partnership. The Smiths are regarded as one of the most important acts to emerge from 1980s British independent music.


"Hatful Of Hollow" is one for any serious vinyl collectors.


This particular item is well looked after. This is the Second Pressing. That said there will be the usual marks on the record sleeve.  Also there will be some hairline marks with the record.  Please understand this is not a new reissue but the original pressing so it is many years old.
If you can't accept those condition please don't buy and hoping to have partial refunds because it is described here.
Record: VG++(Press Marks on Side 2) Sleeve: EX+++ (Original Inner Picture Sleeve)

It's time to dislodge my massive collection of records I collect all these years. I have to call it a day after losing my hearing. There are more than 2000 records comprising Classical, Rock and Rock, Folk, Jazz and Pop music. They are mostly the first pressings or second pressing from the era, not the recent reissues which suffer from wrapping and bad sound quality.
