The Smiths limited edition Complete Collector’s Boxset on Rhino
Morrissey continues to get the headlines (for better or worse) some 30 years or so after the group formed, but very soon, you'll be able to re-discover just why he came to prominence in the first place – by grabbing The Smiths Complete Collector's Boxset on Rhino.
It's impressive. Even if you have all the original albums in your collection, you'll be tempted by this. As long as you are a Smiths fan, that is. The collection has been 'reworked' by Johnny Marr and Rhino UK, with the set including all four of the band's studio albums (The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead and Strangeways, Here We Come) plus live album Rank and compilations Hatful Of Hollow, The World Won’t Listen and Louder Than Bombs. Each has been taken back to original tape sources and remastered by Johnny Marr at Metropolis Studios in London.
Postcard Records tote bag by Edwyn Collins
As a record label, Postcard Records was and is both influential and cool. So this Postcard Records tote bag by Edwyn Collins is certain to be popular amongst fans of jangle indie pop.
The label was founded in Glasgow in 1979, as a vehicle for Orange Juice and Josef K releases, sub-titled 'The Sound of Young Scotland'. It's widely credited as the key influence for modern-day indie pop.
The tote bag features the 'drumming cat' logo from the original record label, with the image signed by illustrator, Orange Juice man (and musical legend in his own right) Edwyn Collins. Grab one directly from his online store, it's just £8.
