Available here is a 12" vinyl LP by The Smiths - Rank. A UK 1st pressing, it was issued by Rough Trade in 1988 and has the catalogue ROUGH 126. Earliest incarnations included a promotional poster and silver advertising sticker on the front cover. This is not one of those copies.

Identifiers - Has the requisite marks as per the Discogs website, namely …
Barcode - 5014644301268
Matrix / Runout - Side A - Etched - ROUGH 126 A-1 - "PEEPHOLISM"
Matrix / Runout - Side B - Etched - ROUGH 126 B-2 - Stamped - TY1

Vinyl Condition - Very Good - The vinyl is quite bright and clean but does bear a number of surface marks but nothing that causes serious ill-effect. Having listened to both sides, I can confirm that there is no jumping or sticking, although periodic clicks will be heard. Moderate background crackle/noise is present and noticeable during quieter moments and track breaks but largely lost behind the rocky sound.

Cover/Sleeve Condition - Very Good+ - Original outer gatefold cover which has minor edge and corner wear with a couple of small depression marks to the back panel. Plain white, die-cut, inner sleeve.

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.

I will accept returns on any item which is not as described and refund all costs upon safe receipt.

See "Me" for further general despatch information.
