Released 20 October 2017

  • The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (2017 remaster)
      order
    • The Smiths  The Queen Is Dead (2017 remaster) 
  • Widely considered to be The Smiths’ finest work as well as one of the greatest albums ever made, The Queen Is Dead has cast a significant influence over subsequent generations since it was first released in the summer of 1986. Now, 31 years after its original release, a newly mastered version of the album will be released on 20 October.
  • The album features several of the band’s finest moments, including the title track and ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’, as well as the iconic singles ‘The Boy With The Thorn In His Side’ and ‘Bigmouth Strikes Again’.
  • You cannot continue to record and simply hope that your audience will approve, or that average critics will approve, or that radio will approve,” says Morrissey. “You progress only when you wonder if an abnormally scientific genius would approve – and this is the leap The Smiths took with The Queen Is Dead.
  • Johnny Marr adds: “The Queen Is Dead was epic to make and epic to live.
  • The deluxe 3-CD + DVD set is housed in a box with a lift-off lid, and includes a stapled 12-page booklet.

    Released 4 August 2017

    • Lal & Mike Waterson - Bright Phoebus
        order
      • Lal & Mike Waterson  Bright Phoebus 
    • Bright Phoebus, the 1972 folk-noir masterpiece by Lal & Mike Waterson, has been remastered and reissued. This will be the first time since its original release that the album will be widely available.
    • Bright Phoebus has long been recognised as one of British music’s legendary lost records. Following the parting of ways of The Watersons, and freed from the strictures of folk orthodoxy, Lal and Mike Waterson’s love of words allowed them to serve the needs of their songs in ways that weren’t possible when singing already written songs.
    • Featuring performances from Lal, Mike and Norma Waterson, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, amongst others, the album is now recognised as a forward-thinking benchmark for the genre.
