Description

this auction is for an

ultra rare & highly collectable, 100% genuine copy of

THE SMITHS

FIRST EDITION OF FIRST ALBUM (ROUGH TRADE 61)

WITH ORIGINAL STICKER IN TOP LEFT CORNER

& SIGNED BY MORRISSEY HIMSELF IN A BIG MARKER-PEN SCRAWL ACROSS THE FRONT.

SORRY, I REALLY DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT THE SMITHS AND AM ONLY SELLING THIS (& THE COPY OF 'THE QUEEN IS DEAD') , PLUS OTHER STUFF, ON BEHALF OF MY FRIEND WHO WAS A MASSIVE SMITHS FAN, DID A SMITHS FANZINE IN HIS YOUTH AND MOST RECENTLY PLAYED IN A BAND CALLED 'THE BOYFRIENDS' WHO SUPPORTED MORRISSEY ON HIS LAST EUROPEAN TOUR.

THE SIGNATURE/AUTOGRAPH SEEMS TO BE IN INDELIBLE BLACK MARKER PEN, BUT HAS BECOME A BIT FAINT IN TWO PLACES (2ND BAR OF THE 'M' + ON THE BAR OF THE 'Y') THROUGH AGE. OTHER THAN THAT IT SEEMS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE VINYL ALBUM ITSELF IS IN REALLY EXCELLENT (I WOULD SAY NEAR MINT) CONDITION. COVER IS IN GREAT CONDITION TOO, PART FROM SOME VERY VERY SLIGHT WEAR TOWARDS EDGES WHERE RECORD HAS BEEN REMOVED & PUT BACK IN. STICKER IS STILL 100% PERFECT CONDITION AND NOONE HAS EVER TRIED TO REMOVE OR UNPEEL IT.

There is no 'certificate of authenticity' as my friend simply got the album sleeve signed by Morrissey after a gig, so please do not bid unless you are a serious collector and are confident about your bidding. Some Smiths memorabilia collectors may remember I sold a number of signed press photos, original Tour T-shirts and other Smiths/Morrissey related items for my mate last year so will know of the authenticity & provenance of everything I am selling.

I AM BASED IN LONDON BUT CAN POST WORLDWIDE.

POSTAGE WILL BE £3.00 UK / £5.80 OVERSEAS + EXTRA £1.40 / £2.70 TO COVER RECORDED DELIVERY & INSURANCE DUE TO THE RARITY AND VALUE OF THIS ITEM. SENT SECURELY IN A STRONG CARD ALBUM MAILER

CHECK MY FEEDBACK & BID IN COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

HAPPY BIDDING!!
