Last year Rhino released The Smiths Complete--a collection of all the Smiths' releases remastered by Johnny Marr. According to Rhino and Warner Brothers, as of April 3rd (yesterday) the remasters are available individually, so if you were looking to replace, say, your worn out version of Strangeways, Here We Come, you can do so without having to buy the entire eight disc collection. In writing this blog post, I attempted to find links to the individual cds on Rhino's site, but quite honestly, their site isn't user friendly and I couldn't find direct links to the single cds there. I was able to find the single cds on Amazon, but in another oddball turn of events, there are only links for five of the releases:

The Queen Is Dead
Hatful of Hollow
Rank
Louder Than Bombs
The World Won't Listen

I'm not sure why links aren't available for The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, or Strangeways, Here We Come but perhaps they'll be posted soon. By the way, you can still purchase the deluxe edition with all eight cds, and the limited edition boxset version is still available too.

Meanwhile, it's become clear to me that the mainstream media should never write articles about The Smiths or any other meaningful bands. "Cheer up, and get ready to meet the Smiths, again." Wow. Just. No.

"How Soon Is Now?"
