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very rare 1984 UK withdrawn RED uncut artwork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!)
