The Smiths / The Queen Is Dead LP / This is the 1986 MPO pressing of the album on the Rough Trade label Rough 96 (MPO is the name of the French pressing plant name which actually manufactured many UK-labelled indie releases including Rough Trade and 4AD pressings, consensus is that MPO pressings are of high quality)

Side 2: MPO ROUGH 96 B1X THEM WAS ROTTEN DAYS (etched)

Records from a personal collection. Played on high quality turntables if played at all by me. Some sourced second-hand but only in mint or near-mint condition.
All vinyl has been professionally cleaned in an isopropyl alcohol-based cleaner and stored in a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab original master sleeve.
Where an original printed inner sleeve is available this is included. (Note that the cleaner can occasionally leave light surface drying marks on the vinyl that do not affect playing quality.)
Records are shipped in a purpose-made corrugated cardboard LP box, with the LP and inner sleeve removed from the cover to prevent in-transit cover splits.
Grading:
MINT: sealed, unopened, unplayed
NEAR MINT: very little played, no apparent wear or damage
EXCELLENT: little played, minor visual marks
GOOD: good audio with but with minor scratches or marks
FAIR: playable but significant scratches
POOR: significant scratches and wear that may cause needles to stick or jump
