Sitting on a Smiths gem without noticing it?

Need to share this story.

I was organizing my Moz records....

Back in 2014 I bought a set of 3 smiths test pressings (Shoplifters.., Boy With The Thorn.., and "TJIFA" (SUPPOSED TO BE!!)). I´ve paid 77 USD for the lot. A bargain

Anyway, I was organizing them a couple of hours ago, and when I played one of the test pressings to see what was it (supposed to be TJIFA as stated by the seller) I´ve noticed that the first track on the A side was Meat is Murder. Then I´ve listened to the B side and the tracklist is:

WIWRL
Nowhere Fast
Stretch Out and Wait
Miserable Lie

Is this the MIM LIVE EP test pressing? Is a white label 12" record.

ETCHINGS:
OUR SOULS, OUR SOULS, OUR SOULS


Any help here?

Thank you all for the replies

I've checked properly and it is indeed the MIM live ep 12" test pressing.

Do you know what's the approx value of this record in 2015? I've checked on popsike and they are just a handful offered since 2005. No more than 5. In 2005 it went for over 1000 quid.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Last one on ebay sold for £900 earlier this year along with a 7" test which made roughly the same.
