Jordiet writes: I´m just finishing my internship on a Spanish radio-station and we just got a promo cd-single (with no sleeve at all) of "This Charming Man", pointing that "The Singles" is going to have a major re-release next March 26th. We have no info regarding sleeve changes or track list changes, even though I guess that none of this will happen. I bet this is the regular intention of promoting The Smiths music to a younger audience. I hope it succeeds!

    perhaps things are different in spain, but i see no shortage of the 'singles' album in the united states. in fact, i'd say we probably have more than enough copies that american distributors can sell a substantial portion to spain and still retain enough of a surplus to feed new fans popping here and there in north america.

    i'm sounding like a broken record, but let's see a more substantial release, like a smiths b-sides album, complete bbc sessions or troy tate versions release. or how about a box set of the complete singles collection (a'la the morrissey singles box set) or previously unreleased and remastered rarities?

    i'm surprised sire/warner/rough trade have yet to pick up on this potentially best-selling idea.
