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.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.

The Smiths - 'The World Won't Listen' Australian Double LP - 1987

Catalogue no. 450978-1 - CBS Records

In all countries except Australia, this LP was pressed in the familiar single LP format carrying 18 tracks. This highly-prized and limited double vinyl version, however, contained no less than 28 tracks - incorporating all the tracks from 'Louder Than Bombs' except 'These Things Take Time' and 'Money Changes Everything' which, rather strangely, was replaced by 'The Draize Train' making this double LP a real Smiths curiosity and sought-after amongst collectors. Another surprise is the terrific picture of the band which is revealed upon opening the gatefold sleeve (see photo). The overall impression is far superior to the standard release and the packaging is described as 'sumptuous' in the Record Collector 'Top 100' article whereupon it was estimated to have a value of 40.00 in 2005 (see photo). This peculiar item is very rarely is offered for sale and this auction offers a rare chance to acquire one in collectable condition with both the original inner sleeves (see below).

Both records are in strong excellent condition, with only the occasional light surface mark on the vinyl which become visible when held to the light. The lyric inner sleeves have light impressions and minor handling wear in places but no writing, damage or splits and are each also in strong excellent condition. The terrific gatefold outer sleeve is in excellent condition, with some moderate corner wear but otherwise no seam splits and no writing or damage. The corner wear is particularly noticable at the top of the spine, but elsewhere there are no real signs of wear. 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 2.80 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will, of course, be greater. 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. 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.
