Smiths & Related - Meat is Murder + California Son - Άλμπουμ LP (πολλαπλά αντικείμενα) - 2023

Τι φανταστική συλλογή αντικειμένων από The Smiths και Morrissey, τα άλμπουμ είναι καινούργια, σφραγισμένα και σε άριστη κατάσταση

The Smiths ήταν μια αγγλική ροκ μπάντα που σχηματίστηκε στο Μάντσεστερ το 1982, αποτελούμενη από τον Morrissey (φωνητικά), τον Johnny Marr (κιθάρα), τον Andy Rourke (μπάσο) και τον Mike Joyce (ντράμς). Ο Morrissey και ο Marr δημιούργησαν τη σύνθεση των τραγουδιών της μπάντας. Οι The Smiths θεωρούνται μία από τις σημαντικότερες βρετανικές μπάντες και από τους πρωτοπόρους της ανεξάρτητης μουσικής της δεκαετίας του 1980.

Οι The Smiths υπέγραψαν στην ανεξάρτητη δισκογραφική εταιρεία Rough Trade Records το 1983 και κυκλοφόρησαν το ντεμπούτο άλμπουλ της μπάντας, The Smiths, το 1984. Επικεντρώθηκαν ήχο κιθάρας, μπάσου και ντραμς, συνδυάζοντας art rock και post-punk, που αποτελούσε αποδοχή από τον synth-pop ήχο της εποχής. Ορισμένα singles της μπάντας έφτασαν στα κορυφαία 20 του UK singles chart, και όλα τα στούντιο άλμπουλ τους κατέληξαν στα πέντε κορυφαία του UK Albums Chart, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του άλμπουλ-νούμερο ένα Meat Is Murder (1985). The Queen Is Dead (1986) και Strangeways, Here We Come (1987) μπήκαν και οι δύο στα κορυφαία 20 του ευρωπαϊκού πίνακα Albums.

Το 1986, οι Smiths διεύρυναν στιγμιαία την σύνθεση σε πέντε άτομα με την προσθήκη του κιθαρίστα Craig Gannon, αλλά οι εσωτερικές εντάσεις οδήγησαν τελικά στο διάλυσή τους την επόμενη χρονιά. Το διαζύγιο ακολούθησε με εξαιρετικά δημοσιευμένες αγωγές για δικαιώματα, και τα μέλη της μπάντας έχουν απορρίψει αρκετές προσφορές επανένωσης τα επόμενα χρόνια. Ο Rourke πέθανε το 2023.
