Description

An incredible near mint 1987 1st Press copy of :


The Smiths Strangeways, Here We Come on Rought Trade 1987


Rough Trade 106


Matrix side 1

Rough 106 A 2 x

Matrix side 2

Rough 106 B 2 x


To prove it’s very first press credentials, “GUY FAWKES WHAT?WAS A FENIUS” is written in the run-off along with the matrix number on side.


I’ve tried to take a few photographs of the writing in the run-off.

This is a simply outstanding copy of this LP, in collectors condition.


The cover is Nr Mint and obviously the embossed edition and is in fantastic condition, this could’ve been purchased today, please see the pictures, the spine is Perfect and strong with the text unbroken with just some very light wear to the corners.


The inner sleeve is Nr Mint and virtually perfect with very, very, very light indentation from the LP showing in one or two places, it’s outstanding.


The record itself is in EX+ condition with No spindle marks and one or two very light areas of wear where the record has been withdrawn from the sleeve, it looks unplayed as there’s no spindle marks.


The record will come professionally cleaned in an antistatic sleeve outside of the cover. I send all my LPs out and reinforced cardboard record mailers.


Postage to the UK is £6.33 signed for and £25 to the rest of the world.


Please look at my other auctions, many thanks.
