hand in glove

Release Date: 10/11/2008

to celebrate the release of 'the sound of the smiths' - the new compilation of the band's greatest hits - 10 x 7" singles are being released (two a week) from 10th november through to 8th december 08 on 7" vinyl, all using the original production masters. they are all housed in the original picture bags and limited to 3000 copies.

the smiths were the definitive british independent band of the eighties, releasing a remarkable series of singles and albums between 1983 and 1987 that was both commercially and critically successful. the smiths laid down a marker for guitar pop-rock that remains unsurpassed. they were the inspiration for the guitar driven rock that dominated the nineties and for the spiritual revival of today's indie scene.
