I've never seen one actually made up into a 7" - but if you wanted to make one from the pressing, all you need to do is fold it and glue it... So, £750 for a made up one as well :)

Does your record look any different to the final released record?

Can anyone tell me what the value of my Smiths "That Joke..." 7 inch with a picture of a chicken on the back is? It is in near mint condition and is the original Rough Trade pressing.

I saw where the original unfolded artwork of this same chicken version is considered rare and is going for over 300 dollars but I can't seem to find this exact 7 inch anywhere online.

I think it must be ultra-rare.

Thanks for your help. :)

Stephane: You are wrong. I know this was released by Rough Trade. I purchased it in 1992 at Sister Ray records in London for 5 pounds. If someone had "created" it to fool a buyer, surely it would have been priced much higher. I just wanted to know how rare it is and the value, even though I never sell anything from my collection. The true value is in my love for the Smiths.

So, please keep your snide insinuations to yourself.

He was only trying to help; you're being a little defensive. Why not post pictures, then you can dispel all doubt?

Stephane: Actually, you were right. Sorry. Silly as it seems, after getting home and looking at the single I realized to my shock:eek: that I accidentally was remembering the image from Peepholism and thought my record looked like that. It doesn't. Hazard of old age and keeping the collection stored away in a dark closet to long. Please accept my sincerest apology for being rude to you and wasting your time. I have always held you in high esteem for your contributions and dedication to the Smiths legacy. Thank you.:)



Dave: Thanks for your response as well and sorry for wasting your time, too.



Uncleskinny: Thanks for keeping me in check. Good point.:thumb:



All others who read this and were confused, my apologies to you as well.



Must get more sleep.:confused:

I think Travis needs to re-register with a new user name... best to start afresh :thumb:

It's not a good move to pick a fight with the great Stephane in only your second post.
