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 - 'Panic' 7'' With Promotional Stickers - 1986

Catalogue no. RT 193 - Rough Trade

Only the very first pressings of this 7" single were issued with a sheet of six circular promotional stickers of three different designs; these stickers were exclusive to this release (since the 12" equivalent was accompanied by rectangular stickers). Due to the fact that only the first run carried the stickers, it is now very difficult to find copies which have an intact sticker sheet; many of these stickers clearly would have been peeled off and used at the time. What is more, the 7" sticker sheet appears much less often for sale than the 12" counterpart and therefore seems very likely to have been produced in smaller numbers. The record is a first-run press as indicated by the "RT 193 A1" and "RT 193 B1" hand-etched matrix numbers on the run-out grooves, and this auction offers a rare opportunity to obtain this release which is both complete and in superb condition (see below).

The record is in tremendous near mint condition, appearing unplayed and having not even the lightest of surface marks on the highly-glossy vinyl. The glossy outer sleeve is also in near mint condition, with no creasing or other signs of handling; there is not even any 'corner wear' to speak of. The sticker sheet is also intact, unmarked and undamaged and therefore also in near mint condition. Please see the accompanying photos for more detail of the actual item being auctioned; 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 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!
