Well, the time has come to part with the big guns of my Smiths collection due to buying a new house. I've built this up over the last 15 years, much of it through contacts here on Morrissey Solo.
This will all go on Ebay in the next week or so, but thought I post here first. Pretty much all are in Excellent condition or better. I can provide pictures and more details (matrix #s, etc) to interested parties on request.
7"
Hand in Glove 1984 1-sided test pressing (RT 131)
Hand in Glove 1984 2-sided test pressing (RT 131)
How Soon Is Now mispress with Oscillate Wildly on the b-side (RT 176)
William... 1984 white label test pressing (NOT the more common red label one) in a RED tinted, early version of the sleeve (as opposed to the final green-tone version) (RT 166)
Reel Around the Fountain green label test pressing (RT 136)
Heaven Knows white label test pressing with alternate version of title track (RT 156)
Meat is Murder withdrawn live EP with pale yellow label (not Mayking) (RT 186)
12"
Meat is Murder withdrawn live EP with white label (RTT 186)
The Smiths German multicolored test pressing (#174)
William Italian 12" with alternate version of How Soon is Now on b-side
A complete set of Japanese vinyl - All Sample promo copies, not stock copies. 6 12" EPs and 8 LPs. All have some form of 'SAMPLE' seals on the cover and sample imprint (in Japanese) on the record labels. First album comes with the red 7" flexi.
If interested, please message me with reasonable offers (I suggest checking Popsike for reference). Pounds or dollars OK.
For reference, my Ebay moniker is wax_wane I've been slowly selling off the rest of my record collection but have held off on the Smiths until now as these have been the most painful to part with.
Note that I am still holding on to my 2 most cherished items - a HIG negative sleeve and a fully signed stock copy of HIG - for the time being. At some point I may sell those as well, but we'll see.
Cheers,
Peter
