I thought I still had the German 45, but it turns out I sold it in 2017 after getting the Complete box. I must’ve thought the repro in the box was good enough and that the original was redundant (d’oh).
I do still have the German Line “Stop Me” CD single so I did an A/B with the original UK LP...
I picked a copy up in Toronto today. No OBI, number or even a hype sticker to indicate it's on green vinyl. Guy at the shop says it's being issued in Canada and Australia without the OBI.
Sold mine on Discogs before they banned it. Couldn't have been more than $40 USD. Black vinyl release as well. Seems to be trending around 20 quid based on recent Popsike solds:

All due respect, but the internet makes finding this stuff easy. The set can be had for $30 via Discogs:

This was mentioned in another thread on this very forum only a few days ago!
I can't decide if this, and the various LIHS LPs will...
It's a tempting offer. Some good stuff on that list including:
Christmas with the Canadian Brass
5 Julio Iglesias CDs
10 Enya CDs (!)
14 CDs from something called Starflyer 59
Jamie Foxx - The Best Night of My Life
I could mention more but I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Selling my copy of the French "There Is A Light" 45. This has been in my collection for 30 years, bought new at time of release. It's likely I only played this 2 or 3 times. Mostly I just had a gawk at it once in a while to admire the sleeve. My grading is conservative...
The "buy or no buy" for me really hinges on the contents of the DVD. If it's just the Jarman film and "The Boy..." clip I'm not interested. Too much of disc 2 is out there already either officially or unofficially to warrant a purchase if they skimp on the DVD.
Amazon listings are up:

Famous when dead added in the comments:
The US version is now listed minus any way to purchase it...
I've started selling on Discogs. I've traded previously on EBay under the name kgedge. There's some Smiths items in there. A few live vinyl albums, some German coloured vinyl. Nothing earth shattering, but I've tried to price my items lower than other sellers...
Which mix of I Keep Mine Hidden did they use on the picture disc? The standard mix or the alternate mix that turned up in the Complete box a few years back?
With Morrissey, who knows? He plays places like Flint, MI so why not Halifax or Winnipeg?
The Smiths rehearsed for five days (and played a show) in London, ON to prepare for their final North American tour in 1986.
I say this even though I doubt the tour is true. The only way the Winnipeg...
I want to pick this up but I am trying to figure out if I buy it on release from Amazon UK if I will get the pink vinyl pressing with the poster or just the standard black vinyl LP. The JM site doesn't make it entirely clear. Just wondering if I need to go through one of the independents to get...
