Description
The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive, you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home. Note that my postage offer still stands. If you win more than one auction within a week, you pay only the postage on one of the items (see below). This can make a particularly big difference if you are an overseas bidder.
The Smiths - 'Barbarism Begins At Home' German 12'' - 1985
Catalogue No. RTD 021T - Rough Trade
'Barbarism Begins At Home' was never released as a single (beyond demonstration stage) on vinyl in the UK, only in Germany (7" and 12") and Italy (7" only). This is the 12" version of the German release and is now becoming extremely rare, being one of the earlier releases in 1985 with many copies being played and discarded before the Smiths became truly collectable. The sleeve artwork consists of the sought-after iconic yellow and black Morrissey-designed Viv Nicholson sleeve in all its 12" glory(!) and the B-sides are 'Shakespeare's Sister' and 'Stretch Out And Wait'. This is a release which is highly-prized amongst collectors, primarily for the rare sleeve artwork. Don't miss this opportunity to get hold of a genuine collectable Smiths record.The vinyl is in terrific near mint condition, with practically no surface marks at all. It is very likely unplayed, and the labels have no marks on them at all. The vinyl retains its new-looking glossy sheen. The sleeve is in excellent condition, having just one relatively minor crease towards the top right hand corner and two small regions of wear along the top edge where the sleeve surface has become disrupted. Other than that, there are no significant signs of wear apart from a small region of 'ringwear' near the top edge due to the record having previously been stored inside the sleeve (though it has been stored outside since being in my possession and will be sent to you that way). The edges are sharp with no seam splits. Please see the accompanying photos; note that the ID lettering is just on the pictures and not the item itself.
All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 2.60 in the UK for securely-packaged delivery. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. I always take great care to package items well.See my other auctions for related rare items here. If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remainder myself. This is the case wherever you live.
