Rhino UK has put together a new box set from the seminal ’80s indie band The Smiths. Simply titled The Smiths — Complete, the “super deluxe collectors’ box set” is said to include everything the band has ever done. Overseen by guitarist Johnny Marr and remastered with engineer Frank Arkwright from “the original tape sources,” the box set includes the band’s eight albums on both CD and 180-gram audiophile vinyl, plus all 25 of the group’s singles on individual 7″s — as well as prints, posters and a DVD of music videos.
