The Smiths - The Sound of the Smiths
The long-hoped for reunion of England’s seminal mope-poppers remains unlikely, but this package should give Smiths obsessives a much-needed fix. Featuring all of the band’s singles plus numerous rarities and live recordings, the collection—also available in a double disc version—was overseen by both Morrissey and Johnny Marr, who also worked on the remastering. As a comprehensive retrospective, it proves the Smiths were the ultimate miserabilists, but also, at their best, one of the ’80s most influential bands.
