Has anyone heard about these? Looks like they will only be on HMV? I don't see them listed on Amazon US:

Not new material but I wouldn't mind having those B-sides on vinyl :bag:

I have both singles for a while now and I really dig how they are mastered and cut on vinyl. They look and sound amazing, obviously no new material like the Boy demo single, but still a cool single. Waiting for the expanded edition of TQID.

I have a pretty extensive collection of SMITHS and Morrissey 7"s so I went for the picture disc on this... I hate these pain in the ass singles that are so hard to get..

Can we talk about The Smiths-Queen Is Dead reissue?

So just dug into this. My gripe is with Disc 3-Live in Boston. I guess I shouldn't be shocked that they didn't include the whole show (they did the same thing with Rank). I have never seen any explanation as to why.

But the most serious misstep-no credit to Craig Gannon for playing 2nd guitar on that show (he did the whole US tour in 1986). :roll:

I find it hard to believe that Joyce and Rourke were OK with this (since they did the "Inside The Smiths" DVD with Craig). They probably weren't consulted. Maybe Marr didn't wait to make a fuss.

I place the blame on Moz until proven otherwise. Lame. :x

So, I had to get this set because I'm a glutton for punishment. I wanted the vinyl but refused to pay $100 for it so I traded in some stuff and used credit. It looks very nice on my shelf HA

That said, while it's a killer set of tunes, they could've done so much more. No liner notes, not a full live show, no cool photos. Also there was no need for this to be a 5LP set.

That’s the thing METALLICA have done great with their box set reissues. It’s worth it for the booklet alone
