I've decided to part with my Smiths and Morrissey record collection - these records have been played to varying degrees and, having been moved around a lot in the early 1990s, they have also endured varying degrees of wear and tear.
 
Individually, I've noted the most pertinent issues with the records, and I’ve been as brutally honest as I can be with regards condition. I no longer have a turntable to verify how they play but I've checked the vinyl by sight and I’ve noted any visible flaws as appropriate. Having said that, I don't recall there ever being any issues with playing - and, in some instances (where I bought the equivalent CD at the same time) the records are in mint condition.
 
Generally though, these records were cherished and played accordingly - I'm not a collector and, while they were treated with care, they weren't being intentionally preserved. However, I hope the descriptions and the pictures give you a very clear indication of what you can expect before you place a bid.
 
If you've any questions at all please ask. UK postage is noted in the listing - if you are bidding from overseas, postage (as a small parcel via Royal Mail International Standard) will be:-
 
EU - £6
Rest of the World - £8
 
Thanks for reading.

The record is in good condition.
 
The sleeve is in good conditions generally, though there is the beginnings of a split at the top of the sleeve where the vinyl has pressed against the upper spine. There is some wear along the edges of the sleeve (see pictures for full details) and this is most noticeable on the bottom-left hand corner of the sleeve.
