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.

This is your meat-and-potatoes Rough Trade UK WLTP but notable for the beautiful playing quality of this near mint early pressing.

Lastly the 'grand chapeau' of the whole lot - a genuine Mayking test pressing of the Smiths' second album. It is known that only a literal HANDFUL of the pressings is ever produced and many, like this one, are hand titled with a basic date stamp below that. It plays beautifully too. Early early pressings such as this is are known for preserving more of the sound quality than later runs.
