Reviews
-
Love this pressing. Great separation. Vocals are out front, like Morrissey is in the room, but in nice balance with the instrumentation. -
Edited 10 days 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. -
Some sibilant vocals, but other than that, great pressing
1 word -
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. -
The second best part about buying this great old pressing is Morrissey gets no money.
-
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
