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 in a 'box' mailer with the record outside the sleeve to avoid seam-splitting. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.

The Smiths - 'Singles Box' (Sealed) Limited Edition 12 x 7" Set - 2008

Catalogue No. 2564-69320-7 - Warner/Rhino UK

This terrific box set of The Smiths' re-issued first ten singles was released by Rhino in 2008 and was limited to a run of 10,000, each of which was individually numbered. This one is a rarity in that it is still sealed in its original cellophane and, since the numbering is inside the set, the number of this particular box is unknown. The box contains a faithful repressing of each of The Smiths' first ten singles, as well as 'Still Ill' and 'The Headmaster Ritual' which were included as two bonus 7"s. The box artwork features Joel Fabiani from the 1969 TV series "Department S" and was designed by Morrissey himself. As well as the 7" singles, the box contains a 14"x14" poster and 4 badges in addition to a 'passcode' which gives the right to download MP3s of the songs from the 'Rhino' website. These box sets are already five years old, and it is getting quite difficult now to find examples in a good complete state; it appears likely that sealed examples such as this one are set to become future collectables as they become increasingly very scarce indeed.

The box set is brand new and unopened, being still sealed in its original cellophane wrapping. The corners and edges of the box are still sharp and there are no dents in the box underneath the cellophane. There is a region along one side where the cellophane has neatly split open over time, but the box underneath is clean and unmarked where it has been exposed and the packaging is still otherwise intact. Please see the accompanying photos for more detail; note that the 'Ebay ID' lettering is just on the pictures and not on 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 4.80 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will usually be higher. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. Extra items are sent at no extra postage charge to the buyer (see below). I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.

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. If you are planning to bid, but cannot be around at the end of the auction, I have found this free site to be useful; note that I am not affiliated with the site in any way!
