Will there be a second box set to complete all the singles released?
Love the idea of CD singles. Is there a poster showing all art work?
Stephen Street was talking about remastering the albums with Johnny Marr.
I received the first box today, and I must say that I'm disappointed. Apart from the "Live at the Oxford Apollo" tracks, there is nothing there that hadn't been on "The Sound Of The Smiths".
And there are quite a few errors:
- It's the album version of The Boy With The Thorn In His Side (again!)
- It's the alternate take of Stretch Out And Wait (on both singles!)
- Rubber Ring and Asleep are seperated tracks
I really don't understand why there always have to be so many errors on remasters/re-issues. I received the Housemartin's "London 0 Hull 4" Deluxe Edition today as well, and they too have clearly mislabled some tracks (still waiting for the original b-side version of Drop Down Dead).
You sound like Morrissey. I remember him going on a rant about how no matter how many times he sent back stuff to be corrected, they still always got it wrong.
Can anybody tell me if the original cd single of "the Boy With The Thorn" has the two B sides(Rubber Ring and Asleep) blend in together as on the 12" version, as the cd in this collection doesn`t?
Thanks!
