Edited 16 hours agoThis is what I've put together from compiling information available at the time of release in 2009, 2011 and 2012:
* 2009: Rhino, licensing from Warner, released a remaster of the Smiths albums on vinyl in US and UK; remaster was done by Johnny Marr and Frank Arkwright
* 2011: Rhino, licensing from Warner, released these album remasters, as well as remasters by Marr and Arkwright of Rank, Hatful of Hollow, and Louder Than Bombs as CD and vinyl box sets
* 2011: Warner released the remasters by Arkwright and Marr as individual entries on CD, at least in Europe
* 2012: Warner released the remasters by Arkwright and Marr as individual entries, on vinyl, and only in Europe
* Since 2012: both Rhino and Warner have reissued some of the the Arkwright and Marr remasters, on vinyl and CD and in some cases multiple times; countries vary
This entry is Warner, btw. -
-
NME magazine once rated The Queen is Dead as greatest album of all time. The
Sound on this pressing is just magnificent -
referencing The Queen Is Dead (LP, Album, Gatefold) ROUGH 96
Picked a NM VG+ copy up in a record store in Camden around 2018.
Fantastic piece of history. Incredible album. -
-
Great pressing, no surfaces noises, nice soundstage. Easy-to-find edition of a cult album. Go for it !
-
Serious question - what is the point of making a bootleg of an album that has been widely available on vinyl at a low price for the past 15 years?
-
Edited one month agoSo does this output a better sound quality than on OG? I am BEYOND impressed with this sound quality.
I must have gotten a good copy because mine is flawless without issue. Especially in the later tracks. -
Mediocre bootleg. The track pressings are wrong as well. I Know It's Over is track 1A, Never Had No One Ever is 2A, Cemetery Gates is A3, The Queen is Dead is A4, Frankly, Mr. Shankley is A5. Side B is correct
-
My copy is flat, centered, and super quiet. Do not mistake vocal sibilance (specifically the first few tracks) for the delivery and mastering; I can detect hints of it on various digital cd / streaming or compressed vinyl compilation presentations in my experience (that's just Moz).
This was like hearing the album for the first time vs. the 2012 stampers in wide circulation today (all of those are excellent rm's). The last third of 'Thorn in His Side' is sonically emotional and kind of breath taking.
Every track manages to capture maximum dynamics in a warm, engaging sound stage...never loses control regardless of power applied. 11/11 post-punk audiophile pressing.
