Credit crunch? Bah! Want this!


Smiths box set

From: www.rhino.co.uk:

Rhino UK are proud to present “Singles Boxâ€?: a clamshell card box containing the first ten UK-issued singles in their original picture sleeves. What makes this particularly special is the two singles which are exclusive to this box set: These unique inclusions are the projected fourth single – “Still Illâ€? (which was pressed only as DJ promo “Aâ€? label) but was ultimately passed over and replaced by “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Nowâ€? along side the Dutch release of “The Headmaster Ritualâ€? housed in it’s black & white “cowboyâ€? sleeve – the rarest commercially issued Smiths’ single in any territory.

The box is completed with four contemporary badges, a poster featuring the single artworks as well as an authentication certificate that contains a unique redemption code for mp3 downloads of the tracks.

An absolute must have item for Smiths‘ fans, and limited to 10,000 copies only. All singles utilise the original production masters from the period.

The front cover image of the box was personally chosen by Morrissey. It features Joel Fabiani from the 1969 TV series “Department S”, starring Peter Wyndgarde, Joel Fabiani and Rosemary Nicols.
