CD probably factory press "Thank Your Lucky Stars" Vinyl, I forget the name, it is a Smiths double LP boot with mulit color vinyl.

Shouldn't this list be according to Record Collectors?

 

[ALLIE WALLS]

They dont list bootlegs in RC

I seem to recall a conversation with perhaps Jeff Pelletier 1,000,000 years ago that the "Headmasters" lp was the hardest one for him to find. It previously was my understanding that "A Nice Bit Of Meat 2" was the most difficult.

But bootlegs aren't from The Smiths. They don't count to me.
I'm only interested in official items

Beau,
Your right it seems like a 1,000,000 years ago that we talked about Smiths bootleg lps !
"Headmasters" lp was the hardest for me to find then A Nice Bit of Meat 2 and 3.

I really dont know why people pay so much for a bootleg cd with The Smiths.
Most often there is a terribly sound also.
But as a hardcore collector...

I dont know if it is really so rare?
I have seen others for higher prices.

The factory press for TYLS always goes for high prices. It sounds good, it is a good show, and Moz really yells at the bouncers and says"Don't Be So Stupid" during "I Know It's Over" really good show. The electric ballroom LP was the vinyl I was think about.

new member here. Question: I hear tell of a 12" single of Sweet and Tender Hooligan. Is this true? official or boot? etc...

 

[Raphael Lambach]

It's official.

According to Passions:

Reprise (the Smiths' label in the USA) thought it wiser to release a single of rarities to accompany the "Singles" album, instead of re-releasing "Ask" like WEA did in Europe. All the tracks on "Ask" were easily found on albums, making it less appealing than this collection of b-sides previously unreleased in the USA.

Dammit! I could have had a friend pick up "Headmasters" for me but passed.

 

[Raphael Lambach]

Oww friend. You've lost a great opportunity.
