Description
Shoplifters Of The World Unite is one of The Smiths' most celebrated non-album singles, released in early 1987 during the band's final year together. Combining Johnny Marr's jangling guitar work with Morrissey's unmistakable lyrics and wit, the single became another UK Top 20 hit and remains one of the group's most enduring recordings.
This striking German pressing was issued on green and white splatter vinyl, making it one of the most visually distinctive Smiths releases ever produced. Featuring the essential B-sides London and Half A Person, it has become a highly sought-after collectible among Smiths fans.
