The Smiths – Shoplifters Of The World Unite

- is a single that was released by The Smiths in 1987.
The song, written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, became one of the band's best-known pieces.

It is a politically charged anthem in whose lyrics Morrissey takes up Marxist themes and makes fun of the idea of rebellion.
The title is a reference to the famous Marxist slogan ‘Workers of the world, unite!’

Musically, the song is characterised by Marr's shrill, striking guitar work, paired with a driving rhythm section.
Morrissey's vocals and the witty lyrics reflect the band's typical combination of melancholy and humour.
The song reached the top 20 in the UK singles charts and remains a fan favourite.

The song was emblematic of The Smiths' ability to combine social commentary with pop-indie sensibility.

Dieser sogenannte Sammler R.P. hat von uns schon mehrfach höflich gesagt bekommen,dass er nichts von uns geliefert bekommen kann,weil seine Adresse nicht stimmt.Versucht immer wieder bei uns zu bestellen.(Versandkosten in jeder offerte seperat gekennzeichnet!) Das letzte Paket dass er bestellt hat,wurde zurückesendet und wir hatten die Kosten Catawiki hat bestätigt Ihm nichts liefern zu müssen.Er ist nicht bereit zu verstehen,dass die Lieferfirma nicht an einen Km 10? liefert. Er hat keine Hausnummer & keine richtige Adresse!.Dies ist die tatsächliche Wahrheit,leider verbreitet dieser hier Lügen,weil man in diesem !! Bewertungssystem einfach alles sagen und schreiben darf und es normalerweise ewig dauert bis Catawiki reagiert! Herr P.ist kein guter Sammler und scheut sich nicht lügen zu verbreiten,warum auch immer.Hoffentlich bleibt dieser "Sammler" anderen ehrlichen Händlern erspart. Unsere tausende positiven Bewertungen sprechen eine klare Sprache. BLACKGOLD-MEMORABILIA

Items in very good conditions Very satisfied
