The Smiths: Louder Than Bombs, original US double LP in gatefold sleeve on Sire. Not re-issue.
As with most of my vinyl, this double LP is unplayed and has been in a protective sleeve since I bought it from new. Unfortunately, there are a few imperfections which prevent me from listing this as 'new'.
There is a black mark on the front top right hand corner of the sleeve (see photo), possibly pen, which was there when I bought it and was probably done in the record shop, along with the few extremely minor marks on the front sleeve. Also, whilst two of the sides of the vinyl (1&3) are mint, sides 2&4 do have three or four marks/scratches. Again, these were there when I bought it and could have been caused during manufacturing. They look like very minor scratches, but I can't tell you if they affect playback.
Finally, the inner brown bags are very thin and have both split at the opposite end to the opening.
So, a few disappointing problems with what is otherwise a fantastic item in lovely condition. I don't think the winner will be at all disappointed, but I will refund your money if you're unhappy and return this item to me in the condition I sent it to you.
