DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:

The Smiths - Meat is Murder  includes "How Soon Is Now?" 1985 Sire Records / Rough Trade 1-25269 (US press) Stereo vinyl LP with original cover With Morrissey; includes "How Soon Is Now?" which was added to US edition. Interestingly it is not listed on the cover or inner sleeve but is listed on the actual vinyl records' label Side B. Per Wikipedia: The song "How Soon Is Now?", originally issued as the B-side of "William, It Was Really Nothing", was added on both the US and Canadian editions of Meat Is Murder after becoming a success in North American dance clubs and on alternative radio (it was also added to post-1992 WEA re-issues of the album). CONDITION:  Vinyl: Very Good to Excellent (please read NOTES ON MY GRADING, below). More like Very Good, as I can see a superficial scrape on start of Side B (where added song is--I may have played this one a little more).
Cover: As shown in photos: mild edge & surface wear; inner sleeve has beginning splits at sides.

Please read the following NOTES ON MY GRADING (for my all record album listings): ---I am listing several albums from my personal collection, unplayed since before I moved to California in 1995 but kept carefully stored in record cabinet.  ---Photos are of the actual record album being sold; they are meant to be part of the condition description, so please view all.  ---I am not a vinyl expert, and I currently have no way of playing these to check them, so my grading will be as follows:  VINYL is rated in one of two ways, as follows: 1) "Very Good to Excellent":  Record albums that I purchased either new or as quality-used vinyl in the 1980's/early 1990's. These were well-cared for (I had a vinyl-expert boyfriend then who taught me how to care for them) and minimally played (typically played only 1-2 times to make copies on cassette tapes, which was all I listened to back then.) OR 2) "As-Is: Very Good" or "As-Is: Fair":  Record albums that a) I may played a lot, or b) that predated the vinyl-expert boyfriend tutoring, or c) that have obvious scratches I can see (I will provide details). Consider these to be curiosities rather than collectibles, although they may be in very good condition. COVERS: I will describe obvious flaws/wear, and please view photos to assess condition.
