Available here is a 12" vinyl LP by The Smiths - The World Won't Listen. A 1st pressing, it was issued in the UK by Rough Trade with the catalogue number ROUGH 101. The record bears a 1986 copyright date but apparently it didn’t actually appear until February 1987.

Identifiers - Has the requisite marks as per the Discogs website, namely …
Barcode - 5014644301015
Matrix / Runout - Side A - Stamped - ROUGH 101 A-1U-1-3-7? TY1
Matrix / Runout - Side B - Stamped - ROUGH 101 B-1U-1-3-7 TY1

Vinyl Condition - Very Good+ - The vinyl is extremely bright and clean with a few minor surface marks but no worrying scratches. Having listened to both sides, I can confirm that the sound is very bright and clear and there is no jumping or sticking, although the odd click may be heard. The first side is virtually blemish free but the second side has moderate background crackle at times. Certainly noticeable during the quieter opening track and into the start of the second. Minor marks to the centre label on the first side look as if they occurred during the production process.

Sleeve Condition - Excellent - Original picture cover with inner lyric sleeve. Both are in excellent condition and almost look mint, no damage with only the lightest signs of wear.

It is not my intention to profit from postage. If possible I use good clean recyclable material but I also buy bubble wrap, brown paper, packing tape and glue and all items are well wrapped and protected before posting. Items are also weighed and postage calculated before I list at auction and a small percentage of the charge does go towards packing costs. See About Me for further general despatch information.
