Description

What It Is:

This is the original debut 7" vinyl single from the Smiths, Hand in Glove, b/w Handsome Devil. It's got the original matrix info (see below under Details), the sleeve credit to the Smiths, and their Manchester address.

Excellent condition all around.

Condition:

Sleeve: VG++: square portion of laminate missing from top right front (price sticker?), otherwise very minor shaping of cover to disk but not enough to be ring wear. Looks great!
Record:
visual grade: VG++: no spindle marks, few hairlines on each side. One inaudible light scuff on side 1. Looks great.
play grade: M-: What very little noise there is sticks to the run in and out areas, and doesn't intrude into the music.

Details:

discs: one 7" vinyl record
country of origin: UK
label: Rough Trade
catalog #: RT131
Matrix info:
Side 1: RT 131 A1 KISS MY SHADES. A PORKY PRIME CUT.
Side 2: RT 131 B1 KISS MY SHADES TOO. PORKY
copyright (generally, release) year: 1983
shipping weight: 8 ounces

Grading standards:

All items are visually graded, and if they've been play graded that will be noted. I follow Goldmine grading standards. My grading is conservative, at least as good as I would expect from anyone that I would buy from.

Payment:

I accept PayPal. If you must return the item, it must be in the same condition that I sent it, but I will refund your full purchase price and return shipping cost within the USA (outside of the USA, I'll refund the bid price, but you must pay for return shipping unless I've made a serious error, in which case I'll pay shipping too) -- I guarantee your satisfaction.

Shipping cost and Insurance:

Within the USA: I ship via the US Postal Service, priority and media mail. Costs are based on the shipping weight and package size. Please contact me for shipping to other locations. As always, if your winning bid is above $50, I will pay for insurance within the USA.

Outside of the USA: I now use eBay Global Shipping for all international shipments -- it avoids headaches for both buyer and seller.

Thanks for looking and bidding!
