The Smiths - 'Meat is Murder' LP (1985). Rough Trade label, catalogue number ROUGH 81. This is the rarer, more desirable 'MPO' pressing and it is in great condition! 
Fantastic second studio album from the Smiths that I've always kept in a protective sleeve since purchase so it is in amazing condition. There is some slight sun discolouration to the back of the LP cover (a ~4cm band running down the right hand side) and some ~5cm damage to the top middle of the sleeve (where it looks like the disc has somehow tried to make a break for freedom) which you can see in the photos. This is also the much rarer and more sought after first variant of the 'MPO' pressing - it is etched 'MPO ROUGH 81 A2X ILLNESS AS ART' on the A-side and 'MPO ROUGH 81 B2X DOING THE WYTHENSHAWE WALTZ' on the B-side. Much sought after piece of vinyl from the legendary Manchester indie band. Superb collector's piece!
