In this chapter of our The Many Faces series, we will explore The Smiths´ inner world, including their members’ projects, the post-punk scene from where the band emerged, their unparalleled repertoire and a fantastic early live performance of the band.
With stellar artwork and remastered sound, The Smiths are the most recent addition to our The Many Faces Collection. And remember that this is not available on streaming platforms."
CD2 "The Smiths Live" is recorded from the BBC Whistle Test concert show at Derby Assembly Rooms in December 6 1983 (already unofficially released on DVD The Smiths - Live In England and earlier as bootleg, e.g. CD The Smiths - The Handsome Devils), but here in a different order. The tracks 2-2 + 2-4 are studio versions from the TV appearances appeared on The Smiths - The Complete Picture.
Track 2-12 misspelled as "Those Things Take Time".
CD3 "The Songs" includes cover versions from the 2xCD/LP compilation Various - Please Please Please: A Tribute To The Smiths.
