      This is what I've put together from compiling information available at the time of release in 2009, 2011 and 2012:

      * 2009: Rhino, licensing from Warner, released a remaster of the Smiths albums on vinyl in US and UK; remaster was done by Johnny Marr and Frank Arkwright
      * 2011: Rhino, licensing from Warner, released these album remasters, as well as remasters by Marr and Arkwright of Rank, Hatful of Hollow, and Louder Than Bombs as CD and vinyl box sets
      * 2011: Warner released the remasters by Arkwright and Marr as individual entries on CD, at least in Europe
      * 2012: Warner released the remasters by Arkwright and Marr as individual entries, on vinyl, and only in Europe
      * Since 2012: both Rhino and Warner have reissued some of the the Arkwright and Marr remasters, on vinyl and CD and in some cases multiple times; countries vary

        Does anyone have a spare inner sleeve for sale? PM me if so.

          I couldn't choose between this album or "The Queen Is Dead". Both maybe.

            The sound quality is excellent - dynamic, lively, punchy. Articulate, tight and agile bass. Highly musical. Never thin, harsh or lacking detail. A typical engaging midrange forward 80's record. Without hearing a UK press, I'm very content with this Aussie press.

                The lyrics for "This Charming Man" say "Return the king" and not "Return the ring". I found a 2011 copy and it has this same typo. Really? Nice quality control Warner Music Group. Emailed them about it and they were completely useless and basically told me to buy a new copy when they get new shipments in (like I'm supposed to know when that is), hoping that they will have fixed the error, and then likely having two copies with the same misprint. What a joke. Otherwise, decent enough packaging, but WEA really needs to up their quality control.

                  Completely acceptable repress. I'm playing it on a 70s system and it sounds like I as a youth. I chase that sound...and the sonics are clean and warm <ortofon blue cartridge> . Unless you can score a OG mint and afford it...welcome to the world of The Smiths starts here.

                    I can assure you this DMM pressing sounds just awesome.

                      Was lucky enough to pick this up from Disk Union Osaka on my most recent trip to Japan. This pressing is amazing. All of the problems in my life evaporate when I put this on. Do yourself a favor and buy if you get a chance.

                        Can anyone explain it to me , why this LP was sold without the cover, just in the inner sleeve?
