THE SMITHS: The Sound Of The Smiths (Rhino 2564693709)
Rhino must be doing something right, as they received the approval of Smiths mainman and legendary curmudgeon Morrissey, who gave this collection its name, and his former foil Johnny Marr, who supervised the mastering. They both assisted in compiling the track listing of the 23-song set, which anthologises The Smiths' singles, adding those that were scheduled but eventually not released. A two CD edition (catalogue number: 2564693717) adds a second disc, comprising rare B-sides, 12- inch bonus tracks and live cuts. A 1995 Singles compilation and 2001's Very Best Of each sold upwards of 300,000 copies so the bar is set pretty high for this release.
IAN DURY & THE BLOCKEHADS: The Stiff Singles - The Promo Videos - The Peel Session (Edsel EDSB 4003)
Edsel has done a great job of remastering, expanding and reissuing the legendary Ian Dury's Stiff albums in recent years, and now turns its attention to his singles for the label, which are collected together here in CD replicas of their original 7-inch sleeves, though the track listings of some match the 12-inch. There is also a bonus disc featuring four songs from the band's only John Peel session and a DVD of the band's six promotional videos, both commercially available for the first time.
