Morrissey - 'Suedehead' Mispressed 12'' - 1988
Catalogue No. 12POP 1618 - HMV Records
This mispressed copy of the 1988 12" 'Suedehead' single appears, upon first inspection, to be identical to the standard release, bearing the same catalogue number and packaging. If you hold the vinyl next to a standard copy, however, you can just about see that the B-side plays a different second track due to the tiny differences in the groove patterns. The second track on the B-side in this case was incorrectly pressed with 'Ordinary Boys' instead of the intended 'Hairdresser On Fire' which is listed on the sleeve. As described in the 2009 Record Collector 'Top 50 Morrissey Rarities' article, 'very few' of these mispressed copies made it into circulation and the vast majority have 'Hairdresser On Fire' on the B-side as intended. The first copies of the 'Suedehead' 12" were also issued with a bright blue inner sleeve bearing the catalogue number, as included here, before later copies reverted to a somewhat less interesting plain black inner sleeve. This rarity has become well-known amongst Morrissey collectors but is rarely actually seen or offered for sale.
