The Smiths "Musically Speaking"

[Irregular Regular]

Well I suppose it is that time of the year...
I have put together this 9 track compilation spanning their entire career.
There is a twist though, these are The Smiths as you have never heard them before.
And I promise you one or two surprises too.

So turn off the lights, get your headphones on and enjoy!

Here is the cover I made for it...

Happy Xmas to one and all!

Holy Moly. Complete WOW at number 5. Where did this come from? Splendid Xmas present. I have the Some Girls, Shoplifters, but not No.5.

Excellent work. See how long No.5 takes to get onto Youtube under someone else's name.

 

[GMS]

Amazing! Thank you!

The tooth fairy left it under my pillow some time ago...

Thanks Peter, I believe most of these have been available for some time, but I don't think many will have heard tracks 5 or 6.

What I personally like about this compilation is how cohesive all these songs sounds when played back to back and in this particular order.
The quality of the music itself and that of the musicians playing it really shines through.
I believe this showcases the ability of the other 3 members of The Smiths perfectly, all these tracks stand up in their own right exactly as they are, and it is quite incredible that they cover almost the full extent of the band's life.
I often listen to this compilation in the car, 35 minutes or so of pure bliss.

Rourke's bass on this version of QID is killer. Quality stuff. Almost makes you yearn for.............a reunion.

Amazing! Thank you!

Do you remember about this time last year when an absolute avalanche of unheard stuff was posted? Here's hoping our friend Mr. I.R has continued an annual trend others may follow.

Queen is Dead is really awesome.
"Charming Man " & "Stop Me" are mix from the "Multi Tracks available or new inst demos ?

Fabulous, but he and Joyce where JUST the rhythm section you know? Ten a penny apparently.

Thanks IR, Happy christmas.

 

[SweetBoy]

Thanks a lot for these gems!

Additionally....so far I never understood why Marr was so insistent on saying how ''Strangeways'' is a game-changer for them.

Now hearing the instrumental Stop me, I think i see what he meant. What a truly a forceful band. And I know, because i'm a musician

 

[Ben Budd]

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.

 

[Kenmare]

Happy Christmas--and thank you. I'm truly grateful!

It is interesting to detect that David Bowie stole this melancholic (in sound and mood) ta ta taaaaa that appears on Lazarus (18 sec in-from video) - direct from Oscillate Wildly (19 sec in), without credits, of course. Ah, Tony, Tony... ...

You must still have some stuff stashed away? Why not lead by example?

I did that a year ago. There's nothing else.
