-
Fantastic quality this pressing. Punchy, breathy, separation between instruments, stereo all on point. -
Looking for a spare jacket if anyones got one. I’ve got the record and a jacket that’s beat due to water damage. -
Got this copy. Sire text under logo on both side A and side B label. Sound quality is great, and most importantly - This Charming man! -
Edited 4 years agoI have 3 copies, both with rim text and Sire logo upper right at 2:00. However the matrix/runout on my copies are an exact match to this listing:
https://www.discogs.sie.com/The-Smiths-The-Smiths/release/11894104
The two listings need to be updated to reflect this and/or a new listing needs to be created.
