Product Description

2008 Japanese digitally remastered deluxe two CD digipak edition features the 23 track 'hits' collection joined by bonus 22 track CD that contains rare tracks, b-sides and selected live recordings. This Japanese edition includes a bonus English lyric booklet that was not available in any other pressing. Rarities include the Troy Tate produced 'Pretty Girls Make Graves' and 'What's the World', a live cover of a track originally by James and more. The Smiths formed in Manchester in 1982 and quickly rose to become the quintessential British Indie Rock band of their day. Powered by the collaboration between lead singer and lyricist Morrissey and lead guitarist and co-songwriter Johnny Marr, their sound had a literary and musical depth that was complex, emotional and often controversial, at the same time, it rang with The Smiths' unique twist on timeless melodic pop sensibilities. Their rise also marked a break from the synth-heavy Pop and Post-Punk that had been defining U.K. music.45 tracks Warner.

ジョン・フルシアンテに影響を与えたジョニー・マーのプレイ。そして、唯一無二の表現者モリッシーのボーカル。是非是非ご堪能あれ！

良いものは、リマスターでも何でも良いに決まっている。当時、解散が近かった頃のスミスとスエードヘッドをリリースしたときのモリッシーのライブを観続けてきた者として、聞けるものは何でも聞くに越した事はない。当時、駄作といわれたリミックスなども今なら素直に聞けそうだし、何より、スミスが好きなら何でも買うべきでしょう。同じ時代に活動していた、メリーチェイン同様に。
