THE SMITHS William It Was Really Nothing (Stunning and
very rare 1984 UK withdrawn RED uncut artwork
proof for the 7" vinyl single front and reverse sleeve. Whilst
the tracklisting for the band's fifth single was already
confirmed [William, Please, Please, Please & How Soon Is
Now, were all demoed by Marr in one feverish weekend of
recording apparently!], this early artwork proof is in RED,
completely different to the green and lilac finished sleeves.
Hand annotations alongthe side bar indicate this is a '1st
proof' and final decisions regarding the font and layout were
still unconfirmed at this stage. Measuring 8" x 18" the item
has been never been folded, remains free of creases, rips or
tears and is in superb overall condition - a true rarity for the
Smiths collector and just begging to be framed!)

THE SMITHS William, It Was Really Nothing (Withdrawn
1984 Italian mispress 12" vinyl single, also featuring How Soon Is
Now? & Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want. Note: the
version of How Soon found here is a unique 6:47 mix
unavailable anywhere else in the world & never released on CD. The
story goes, Rough Trade sent the incorrect master for the b-side How
Soon Is Now? to Virgin in Italy. This collector's item featured at No. 9
in Record Collector's '100 Greatest Smiths Rarities' [June 2005, issue
311]. According to the magazine, the mistake was not discovered until
copies were delivered to the stores, with a rough estimate of just 100
known copies to have escaped into the hands of collectors before it
was swiftly withdrawn. Complete with the Italian picture sleeve, see
'more info' for details of this highly prized The Smiths rarity... VINX71)
