The Smiths To Re-Release 'The Queen Is Dead' For Record Store Day

April 14, 2011
The Smiths To Re-Release 'The Queen Is Dead' For Record Store DayThe Smiths are to re-release their third album 'The Queen Is Dead' for Record Store Day this Saturday (April 16).

The album, originally pressed as a single-disc gatefold 12" vinyl in 1986, the new release has been re-worked onto 10" format.

Guitarist Johnny Marr has worked with mastering engineer and vinyl cutter Frank Arkwright on the new masters.

Only 1500 limited edition copies will be available.

'The Queen Is Dead' reached number two upon its original release and remained on the chart for 22 weeks.
