Highly collectible vintage vinyl copy of Retrospective, the definitive 1983 compilation album by British new wave/rock band Sniff 'n' the Tears. This release serves as an incredible chronological look at the band's peak era, bringing together their finest melodic hooks and smooth rock compositions. Cover: The provocative, cinematic illustration is highly sought after by cover art collectors and perfectly encapsulates the sleek mysterious aesthetic of early 1980s vinyl. Tracklist: compilation features a powerhouse selection of the band's catalog, headlined by their absolute smash hit "Driver's Seat". It also boasts essential deep cuts and fan favourites like the driving synth rocker "Hungry Eyes" and melancholic "Shame". Auction Note: All lots are from a single estate collection. This is an opportunity to purchase a carefully curated decades-spanning collection from a single collector. The majority of the vinyl is in near mint condition with many appearing unplayed - if there are flaws of note we did our best to photograph that specifically. If you would like any further information please use the question portion available on each lot. Shipping is available - if you win the lot please email [email protected] to arrange.
