Does anyone here own a copy of the 7" Hand In Glove NEGATIVE SLEEVE or seen a thick sleeve(not the paper format like in Record Collector mag)

If so, which address is on the back of it? The Manchester one or the London one?

Cheers.
 
The mispress comes from a later batch, I believe done in 1986. That would mean that it would have the London address on the back.

What if Rough Trade used the Proof sleeve that had the Manchester address, in the printing process?
 
if Record Collector is to be believed, it is 1986

From Record Collector, June 2005
"Smiths 100 greatest rarities"

1 HAND IN GLOVE
UK MISPRESSED NEGATIVE
SLEEVE (Rough Trade RT 131)
Value £1300

Most hardcore collectors will cite this, above all others, as their most desirable item. A repressing in 1986 resulted in some sleeves being issued in error resulting in the colours being reversed, and is subsequently known as the 'negative' sleeve. Only a handful appear to exist.

Yes it's deffo 1986 but which address was used as the Manchester address was also used on the original RT 131 single.

Well, the London address would have been the correct address at the time, and I've never heard anyone talk about anything other than the obvious mistake. It occurs to me that I have never seen a picture of the back, so unless someone can provide a scan, we won't know for sure.
