Description
The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive, you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging in a 'box' mailer with the record outside the sleeve to avoid seam-splitting. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.
Morrissey - 'Jack The Ripper' UK Promo 7" - 1993
Catalogue no. POPDJ 1632 - HMV Records
This rare and limited promotional single was issued in 1993 to radio stations to promote the 'Beethoven Was Deaf' album. This 7" appears for sale less frequently than its CD counterpart, and both share the terrific sleeve artwork, featuring Morrissey and bassist Gary Day, which is unique to this promotional release; this is therefore the only place to find the sleeve artwork in 7" form. The record has two live tracks: 'Jack The Ripper' on the A-side and 'Sister I'm A Poet' on the reverse, both recorded at the Paris Zenith. 'Jack The Ripper' became very popular at live appearances despite not being released as a single in its own right. The record label on the 'B-Side' has an ununsual manufacturing defect which has created a 'shattered' look to the label (see below) but this does not affect playback.The vinyl and labels are in strong excellent condition, notwithstanding the manufacturing defect on the 'B-Side' record label (see photo). Where the B-Side label has spread out during pressing, it is nonetheless restricted to the run-out area and does not encroach upon the playing surface. There are some light 'hairline' superficial surface scuffs which only appear when the record is held to the light. The outer sleeve is in excellent condition, with some mild-to-moderate 'rubbing' along the bottom edge in places and some mild-to-moderate 'ringwear', also near the botton edge. There are no rips or tears, no seam-splitting and no writing on the rare picture sleeve. Please see the accompanying photos for more detail; note that the 'Ebay ID' lettering is just on the pictures and not on the item itself.
All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 2.60 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will usually be higher. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. Extra items are sent at no extra postage charge to the buyer (see below). I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.See my other auctions for related rare items here. If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remainder myself. This is the case wherever you live. If you are planning to bid, but cannot be around at the end of the auction, I have found this free site to be useful; note that I am not affiliated with the site in any way!
