Thanks, Stoned! I'd only read about it on PJLM before - never actually seen one until I bought this one. All the longboxes are lovely in my opinion, though.
That Australian Suedehead looks lovely! You know my affection for those Aussie EMI sleeves...
I didn't realise there was a difference in the tint of the Double Dose and Super Twins CD covers, either. Good to know!
A couple of new bits:
and a full set of "A chance to shine" fanzines, to fill a few gaps in my existing collection, and then some.
hi , just spotted these :

Wow, I'm impressed... in all my years of collecting, I've never seen the "Ask" picture sleeve, and "Girlfriend In A Coma" once only. These are both extremely rare in this original packaging.

Stephane and Aly,
Those are official promo releases? They look so bootleg/unofficial. Just want to know if I have more things to add to my list of things to look out for. Thanks.

They do look a bit bootleggy, but I'm almost positive they're official. The records beneath the sleeves are, anyway. I think the Smiths' label in Italy had some rather strange ideas about packaging, to be honest - I've got an Italian cassette of the debut album and it has a very 80s-style, sort-of bootleg-style design too.
Nice find, Marcel! I never knew there was a Portuguese release either.
Ah, you beat me to it!
Could've indulged in a bit of shameless self-promotion there... (I run the site) Finally in my greedy little hands, the Vauxhall and I Brazilian LP (right, compared to the UK LP):
Aside from having a noticeably darker tint, the Brazilian version differs in that the picture inside the gatefold sleeve is facing the other way around (head-end on the inside of the front cover, rather than the back).

Beautiful!!
I'm still having a hard time looking for a UK press.
Great pictures!

They must be the two Jukebox "promos", as Stephane says, these must be extremely rare to find with those sleeves. Great items, I too would have snapped them up if I had known these were available when I dealt with the very cordial and trustworthy blameless, in recent times. Incidentally (blameless), I still didn't receive any list of items you have available for sale. Have you not had the time to compile this info (or do you even remember our previous transactions and correspondence)? Please let me know, in due course. Thanks!
If you're in the market to buy one right now, there's a copy on eBay at the moment - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140797019849?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
I'm not the one selling it of course, but I tend to save items like these to a special reference list while the auctions are active, for anybody who happens to be looking for one at the time.
Thanks, Stoned! I'm really pleased with them too - beautiful condition as well. I don't know anything about Network 105, but if it's gone downhill in the same manner as most radio stations here have, I sympathise!
Latest buys...
^ Thanks again to blameless.
Best...I - Australian cassette (left; compared to the German edition)
What difference does it make? - Australian 7" promo
Our Frank - Australian 7" in EMI sleeve
