This is The Smiths 'Best... I' UK LP on the WEA label from 1992.  The cover is still in very good condition with some creasing and scuffing.  The labels are in excellent condition with hardly any sign of spindle marks.  The vinyl has 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The vinyl looks near mint, really bright, clean and virtually unmarked.  Playback is superb with virtually no surface noise except some light crackle in places.  This is really nice well looked after vinyl.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
