Wishing A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year To All Ebay Users!! 
The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive,  you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging in a 'box' mailer with the record outside the sleeve to avoid seam-splitting. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase. The Smiths - Set of 7 UK Vinyl Album Releases: 1984 - 1988

Catalogue nos. ROUGH 61 - 126 - Rough Trade Records This is an increasingly rare chance to own all of the Smiths UK albums as original 1980s Rough Trade pressings; none of these are the recent re-issue versions. While the re-issues are undoubtedly nice to own, it will be these original pressings which will continue to rise in value and desirability amongst 'purists' and collectors. All seven UK vinyl releases are here (note that 'Louder Than Bombs' wasn't originally scheduled for a UK release and is not included here). All these are in their original picture sleeves with their original inner sleeves - and have been extremely well looked-after. The records are all in near mint condition (see below for more details). There is no writing, tears or other damage on any of the sleeves, with no 'seam-splitting' and no scratches on any of the vinyl. Unlike some auctions of this type, this is not an excuse to sell sub-standard condition LPs by virtue of the fact that they are a set! It is not often that you see a full UK set of these LPs for sale in this type of condition. It is also interesting to note that the sound quality of these UK pressings has been said to be superior to that achieved on their US 'Sire' label counterparts, which is, ultimately, a matter for the listener to decide. Full details of the catalogue numbers and the condition of each are listed below.

The postage (particularly overseas, see details) represents good value compared to the extremely high price of buying them individually and paying the postal prices separately on each.

In each case, the vinyl and labels are in near mint condition, with only very light superficial surface marks on the vinyl which become visible if held to the light. They have been played very little, if at all in some cases, and stored very carefully from new. The vinyl is very glossy in each case, and the labels are clean. The original inner sleeves are all present with no splits, writing or marks. The outer sleeves are in at least strong excellent condition and many are also near mint. There is no seam-splitting and no creases in any of the outer sleeves, which remain flat and retain their original glossy appearance. The only sign of wear at all is some extremely minor 'corner wear' in places and occasionally some mild 'edge wear' in one or two places with the odd small 'corner bump'. These LPs have been stored incredibly carefully since the 1980s, and it would be very difficult to find a set which has been better-preserved these days.  

The new owner is certain to be very happy with these essential Smiths releases on now-increasingly-rare vinyl.

All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 7.00 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will usually be higher. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. Extra items are sent at no extra postage charge to the buyer (see below). I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.

See my other auctions for related rare items . If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remainder myself. This is the case wherever you live. If you are planning to bid, but cannot be around at the end of the auction, I have found to be useful; note that I am not affiliated with the site in any way!
