This is the original Roughtrade album, catalogue number ROUGH 106 , by The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come. In the run out groove, " Guy Fawkes was a genius " is etched in the vinyl. Will grade the record as VG, I have played it from start to finish and it plays well. There are some surface marks but not jumps or bumps. I was concerned about a big mark on side 1, track 1, and thought it might be a big scratch but it played fine, maybe 2 or 3 seconds of background noise right at the start of the track. I nearly always play albums right through, it can be a bit tedious, but you get an exact description. There is a mark in the run out groove, some spindle wear, but overall a great listen with no issues. The album sleeve is very tidy, VG+ , very minor wear on corners, I tend to be pretty fussy when grading. The inner lyrics sleeve is probably EX, so I will say VG+ As always, I give a full no quibble refund if not totally happy. Many thanks for looking.
