Description

Very nice original MPO 1st pressing copy of The Smiths, The Queen is Dead album from 1986. Overall great condition, carefully looked after from new over the years. The vinyl and sleeve have been stored properly, away from dust and direct sunlight. 

No ring wear and only very minor wear to sleeve and sleeve corners. Vinyl shows only light signs of use and plays with no issues.

I've tried to show condition as clearly as possible in the photos so please examine images carefully as they form part of description.

Will ship in premium custom-made protective cardboard packaging inside moisture-proof plastic bag (see photos).

Selling off my well loved and cared for vinyl collection only because I no longer use it and would love for it to go to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have. A great addition for any collector or music lover.

New listings coming soon so keep an eye on my account for more good quality indie and other vinyl records!

Feel free to make me an offer or message with questions or for more details.

Please check my feedback and buy with confidence.

This record has been graded according  to 'Record Collector' guidelines.  

NEAR MINT: The record itself looks new and unplayed in appearance with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  The cover and any extra items such as the lyric insert, inner or booklets are in near to perfect condition

EXCELLENT: The record shows a few minor signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  The cover and packaging might have slight wear, mild creasing and/or shelf rub

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable hairline surface marks.  Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without major defects is permissible

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
