Johnny Marr talks about remasters on Radcliffe and Maconie
Link and summary posted by Dave2006 in the forums (original thread):
Wednesday - With Johnny Marr - Radcliffe & Maconie, BBC Radio 6 Music
He says he's very very happy with the remasters.
He took all the 'nonsense' off the original records 'I knew we sounded better than that'.
Stephen Street was working in the next door studio at the time... and he came in from time to time... high fives all round.
Bernard Sumner was also involved - apparently he's a Smiths 'expert'. [Correction posted in the thread by minminmusic - "Go back and listen to the radio broadcast...it was Bernard BUTLER...not Sumner."]
He's not sure if the other Smiths have heard it... 'it's only just come out'. So, side stepping Morrissey's comments...

Conversation with Johnny Marr by Alex Needman - johnny marr plays guitar
Excerpt:
Do you like touring or do you like recording the best?
I didn’t like touring for years. In The Smiths there was always the assumption that I was…you know…
You were in charge, weren’t you?
You said it! (Johnny …falls about laughing.)
...
How long have you been vegan?
Since 2005. I’ve been vegetarian since whenever ‘Meat Is Murder’ came out (in 1985). It wasn’t a problem because I ate cigarettes and coffee anyway – I didn’t eat very much food. And my girlfriend, who’s now my wife, was vegetarian. I’m incredibly proud of having made an album called ‘Meat Is Murder’. In America, there are so many people who are vegetarian because of that record. When people get too cynical about pop music or pop culture, I can say firsthand that I’ve seen the evidence of it making a difference. It certainly made a difference to a lot of animals. But I don’t get on people’s case about it. I’ve been around one or two vegetarians… who – and it’s not who you’re thinking – I’ve seen put people off vegetarianism.
