Description
Disclaimer: Although I am a huge music fan, I am far from an audiophile or vinyl expert. The vinyls I am selling were all bought as display pieces more than anything else and have rarely been played, if ever. I have described the items and their condition to the best of my ability, but as I say I am no expert so can’t speak to the more minute details if vinyl collecting or listening. They are all generally in great condition having barely been used, but please bear this in mind when bidding.

There were only 28 made on marbled green vinyl, and as you can see from the hand written sticker this is number 9 of 28. Having done some research (it's worth giving it a Google yourself) it would seem that there were 87 printed in marbled blue, and plenty in plain old black, making this the rarest of the bunch. It is a recording of The Smiths third live performance at The Hacienda on 4th February 1983

The sleeve is in really excellent condition. There is a tiny crease to the top left hand front corner and very slight wearing on the bottom edge but otherwise there are no significant marks and it is practically perfect (as is the inner sleeve).
-
The vinyl itself is in mint condition. There is not a mark to be found, and as you can see from the pictures the marble green pressing is absolutely beautiful.

I bought this from a record store and assume it is second hand. That said, it has never been played by myself, and given how perfect the vinyl is I suspect it has never seen a record player under anybody elses ownership either. Since it has been with me it has been stored safely in a smoke free home.
