Description

The holy grail of Smithereens vinyl collecting - their 1980 debut 7" EP on D-Tone Records (DT150) featuring "Girls About Town" and "Girl Don't Tell Me" b/w "Got Me a Girl" and "Girls Are Like That." It's reported that only 1500 copies were ever pressed, and few ever made it outside of New Jersey or off the East Coast. This one somehow made it to Seattle, where I bought it new in a record store. The vinyl is VG+, and the sleeve is VG+ with a small blemish on the front where a price sticker was once attached.

 

Records are graded visually (and conservatively) according to the classic Goldmine scale. For a quick summary, CLICK HERE. Please see my other listings for many more records, including punk, garage, psych, soundtrack, jazz, pop, instrumental, exotica, lounge, and space-age bachelor pad music!
