About 25 years ago a copy of the July 1983 Hacienda in-house video recording of the Smiths fell into my hands. My copy had originally been supplied to Rough Trade by Factory Records. Evidently to save money, those canny Mancunians had simply recorded over one of their own Ikon video releases (a...
I bought them together at a record fair in London maybe 25 years ago. It's now time to sell up but I've recently had a dissenting voice (from a source whose opinion I value) as to their authenticity. Hence why I'm asking those who genuinely know their stuff re autogs for their two penn-orth...
I've had this 30 years or thereabouts and it pains me to part with it.
I call this indisputably the tastiest official 7" ever released by The Smiths. And making this one even more tasty are the two nice Morrissey signatures, front and back.
It is on eBay currently...
Another quite tasty original UK WLTP, here with its promo postcard.

I used to see these around a lot in the record fairs 25 years ago but now they rarely surface.

I've two nice examples in their original thin plastic sleeves. Firstly this auction.

These three Hatfuls all have something in common - they're quite collectible especially the Mayking pressing which is in the low-to-mid hundreds whenever one has appeared for sale.
Firstly the one-of-a-kind(?) shrink-wrapped mint 1988 French pressing...
I've slapped this on eBay having looked after it for nearly 30 years. Not many of these around in this day and age etc etc.

This pretty pair is leaving my collection next week. The Australian one is especially toothsome. Have a peep on eBay.

The official tee for the 1999 West Coast tour. Size 'L'. Dates on the back and logo on sleeve. Check it out in full on eBay:

Both are in very good condition without marks or flaws. The cases are a trifle scuffed due to age. They're some of the best boot CDs that were compiled of rare Smiths trax. PM me a reasonable offer. UK P+P is £2.
And another prized item that I'm painfully relinquishing! I bought this 7" at a record fair maybe 25 years ago. Everyone here knows the background of it, I'm presuming.
However, mine has a super bold and breezy Morrissey signature (well, actually 'Steven Patrick' if you're being pedantic!)...
This is an EMI promotional T-shirt made in tiny quantities to mark the release of the Every Day Is Like Sunday single. I believe all the examples were offered as prizes in a Smash Hits magazine competition. No other EDILS t-shirt was ever produced officially in the 1980s. It's totally and...
