Description
So, after five decades of collecting vinyl and Hi-Fi, the time has finally come to downsize. Over the next few months, with great reluctance, I will be gradually selling off my treasured collection of records, cds and hi-fi equipment. It will take a while !!! For instant sale is an excellent condition copy of a UK 1st pressing from 1984 of 'HATFUL OF HOLLOW' by THE SMITHS. It was released on the Rough Trade label with the catalogue number ROUGH 76 and comes complete with the original printed inner sleeve. The records have the A2 THE IMPOTENCE OF ERNEST and B2 Ian (EIRE) matrices in the runout grooves indicating a first pressing. The album also still has the original 'hype' sticker attached to the front cover. The sleeve is in excellent condition but it does have a few small creases and a small amount of edge and corner wear. No writing or other marks. The spine is clean, sharp and fully readable. The inner sleeve is in excellent condition. Please study the photos carefully to see the condition of everything for yourself. The labels are in excellent condition but there are some 'spindle trails'. The record is also in excellent condition with just a few surface marks from the inner sleeve. It plays very well with no 'skips' or 'jumps' but there is light surface noise/'crackle' (mainly between tracks) and the occasional 'pop' at times so it is not in 'mint' condition. However, it is still a fine listen with some absolutely classic Smiths tracks on the album. The album will be wrapped in bubblewrap before posting to ensure that it does not get damaged on its journey. I will dispatch it in a proper record mailer and will post within one working day of purchase by Second Class post so that it gets on its way to you as soon as possible.
