Totally Random Smiths Single

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on Rough Trade Records (RTT 176) in 1985 to high resolution lossless 24-bit flac audio. Obscure extra track, running at a shade under seven minutes, from the b-side of a 1984 12" single is resuscitated to become one of the greatest singles ever to come out of Manchester. Oscillate wildly!

The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (Extended!)

Ripped from side A of a mispressed 12" vinyl single released on Rough Trade Records (RTT 156) to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. I am sure most of us cheery souls bought this single, but how many of us realised at the time that a number of the pressings had the rejected extended recording on the a-side by mistake That's got a few of you scurrying to check your copy ....everybody else will be hunting down a download link! Another gem with thanks to Steve. 

A1 Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (for a bit longer)

You don't need the rest of the tracks.

The Smiths - This Charming Man

I was lucky to see The Smiths live a few times between 1984 and 1986, sometimes supported by James. There isn't much to say which has already said about their second single, except that my copy is from one of the first UK pressings, and though it clearly shows signs of wear (and just one or two pops), it still sounds much better than the recently re-released botch-ups. The Smiths in twenty-four bits.
