About this deal

Became an insane SMITHS fan, absolutely NEEDING more than oxygen to get my hands on anything and everything put to vinyl.

I compared this to my original pressing and as expected nothing will beat the original but to the untrained ear this is also an excellent press.The empty young lives will fill up with all the normal sorts of happiness, he predicts, and the Smiths records will be filed away and forgotten. Detto questo, il materiale audio è di tutto rispetto, quello grafico gradevole ma un po' limitato: mi sarei atteso un booklet più corposo e qualche foto della band. Record has hairline surface marks, plays with a little crackle in quieter passages and between tracks. Each Vinyl Album Includes:UK Only Format 13 SongsFull-size gatefold photosA collectible 8-page lyric booklet with never-before-seen photosDepiction of this product is a digital rendering and for illustrative purposes only.

According to Marr: "The atmosphere of that track pretty much sums up the whole album and what it was like recording it. The album was produced by the singer, Morrissey, and the guitarist, Johnny Marr, working predominantly with engineer Stephen Street, who had engineered the Smiths' previous album, Meat Is Murder (1985). In June 2017, one year after the album's 30th anniversary, the Smiths released the full version of "The Queen Is Dead" on vinyl with other Smiths songs: “Oscillate Wildly,” “Money Changes Everything,” and “The Draize Train” serving as B-sides. Non aspettatevi chissà quali inedite: le demo sono interessanti ma non particolarmente illuminanti (ma "I know it's Over"è meravigliosa anche in quella forma), le b-sides doverose, il live è buono. But here Morrissey hovers in an ecstatic suspension of yearning that becomes its own satisfaction, an emptiness that becomes a plenitude.

The demos and fun even if most of them don't really stray too much from the official versions of these songs. First I’m a huge Smith fan and their first album and The Queen is dead I can listen to for days on end.

Morrissey beseeches, as if he’s actually in a real romance with each and every one of his fans, acutely aware of the perversity and impossibility at work in pop’s psycho-dynamics of identification and projection.

Originally the flipside to “Boy With the Thorn,” “Rubber Ring” gets its name from the life-preservers you find on ships. The Queen Is Dead is the Smiths' great leap forward, taking the band to new musical and lyrical heights.The additional recordings and live album are so clear that I genuinely feel like the band are in the room. Mayo Thompson of the Red Krayola was an associate producer for the film and through working for Rough Trade Records persuaded Jarman to direct a promotional video for the Smiths.
