There were multiple copies of "Reader Meet Author" and "First Among Equals" but only one of the others.
 
45 bucks for Strangeways?!

If I recall correctly, it was the Rhino release, and "The Smiths" was a Made in Germany. I don't recall any date or record label.
 
What is First Among Equals, please?

It'd be $60 in store here.
Vinyl is too effing pricey. It’s really a shame. I rarely buy new vinyl. Mostly when one of the favorites release a new album.
 
https://www.rarewaves.com/ is where I tend to buy all my vinyl from. I purchase through their ebay shop. Their prices always seem to be the lowest and the postage is mostly free or very low priced.
Thanks! They seem to have a wide range of stuff. The Swedish krona is weak as hell, though, so can’t do much about the prices. But shipping was refreshingly low. 😍

No worries. Yeah some of the shipping on ebay vinyl is atrocious but these guys have always been lower than others.
 
I have yet to look at any local record stores for Morrissey or Smiths records. There aren't very many record stores around here anymore. I hope to find a haul like this! The prices are about the same on merchbar! Only thing is I ordered Hatful of Hollow mid January and I won't get it until the end of March. My own.. personal.. torture.

I have noticed merchbar can take eons to send your items. I ordered Porno For Pyros' God's Good Urge on vinyl and it took so long to arrive that I forgot I bought it!
 
Excuse ignorance, what is the Reader Meet Author vinyl? (I know it’s a song on Southpaw Grammar, but wasn’t aware it had been released anywhere as a single).
Bootleg 'outake' compilation.
Churned out in a variety of colours.
Regards,
FWD.
 
Today at the record store I bought :)

There was more to buy, but I just couldn't... not yet. :)

"Ah you're taking my Morrissey shirt," the shop-keep said as I approached the counter, lol. We had a nice chat about Morrissey, I've never nerded out about him in person with anyone yet.. I'm glowing.

That’s a great t-shirt! Congrats

Thanks for that. Was it a semi-official release then? Having sides C & D seems unusual as well. Sounds like a complicated one! Probably a rare find these days. 🙏:tiphat:
