Description

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? - 1985 Rough Trade 7 inch Test Pressing - unusual test pressing as it is a black label test pressing as opposed to a white label one.  I have shown an extract below from the 'Passionsjustlikemine' website which details all of the promos.  This test pressing on sale is the Scott Piering supplied jukebox 7 inch with an adaptor placed in the large hole, so that DJ's could play it.


"UK (1985 edition): Four different promos have been reported. All are 7"s and at least the first three listed below were distributed with a 2-sided press sheet: black 'white label' 7" in die-cut sleeve, jukebox 7" (same as stock but with large hole) with Scott Piering contact info sticker on die-cut sleeve, stock 7" with same Scott Piering sticker on picture sleeve, and 'faulty' test pressings with "Oscillate Wildly" on the b-side."

Condition is very good, has been played. No press sheet.

Postage in the UK - £5 (recorded delivery), Rest of world is £6.50 (signed for postage)
