Original UK 7" test pressing of the classic Smiths single What Difference Does It Make? from 1984, with Back To The Old House on the B-side; this version is an original test pressing, complete with press release, which would have been sent out to DJs and journalists in 1984 for promotional purposes; grab it now while you can!

MATRIX:

A: RT 146 A-2U-1-1-1 (machine stamped)

B: RT 146 B-2U-1-1-1 (machine stamped)

 


CONDITION:

Vinyl (visual): VG+

Vinyl (audio): VG (some surface noise, but plays through perfectly)

Sleeve: VG+ (original black die-cut paper sleeve)

Press release: EX


NB: The condition grades shown above are based on Record Collector's grades. There are 5 grades: Near Mint (used but in stunning 'brand new' condition); EX+ (used but with the barest minimum of wear); EX (item may have one or two little marks but still in a highly desirable condition); VG+ (has a few marks but only cosmetic, item plays perfectly); and VG (may have minor issues which I will specifically refer to); I don't sell anything below VG (and Mint doesn't exist). Unlike a lot of people on eBay, I am very scrupulous about my grading, so if ever you are less than satisfied with the condition of an item, please do contact me.

 

PHOTOGRAPHS & DESCRIPTIONS:

All photographs show the actual item for sale - I don't sell multiple items, and definitely don't use other people's photos stolen from other listings. All descriptions are as honest and as accurate as possible. Should you need any more information about an item, I'm very happy to answer any questions you have. In certain circumstances, I can also provide extra photographs via your email service (they can't be added to the eBay listing).

 

PAYMENT & POSTAGE:

Paypal preferred; personal cheques from UK bidders only. UK bidders can opt for standard First Class or Special Delivery. Overseas bidders have two postage choices: standard Royal Mail Airmail, or Royal Mail's International Signed For service which is tracked via the Royal Mail website. NB: Bidders from Russia, Asia, Middle East, Africa and South America MUST pay for the Signed For option, so please think very carefully before you bid (this is only because so many of my items have gone missing in these territories; International Signed For protects us both). I can offer a reduced postal charge for multiple purchases, details on enquiry. If you have any questions about postage or about the item itself, please ask before bidding. Once the auction has ended, please indicate which postal option you would prefer (if applicable) and I will send you the appropriate invoice. Thanks.
