THE SMITHS Proof artwork for CD singles(Super rare 1988 UK unfolded uncut paper printer proof artwork for the original ROUGH TRADE issue CD singles, featuring full artwork for four singles across one sheet measuring 18″ x 25″. Of particular note is the inclusion of the Headmaster Ritual artwork which used an image of Viv Nicholson without her consent resulting in the single being hastily withdrawn [all copies were subsequently destroyed].
