Editorial Reviews

Import-only collection of digitally remastered tracks from one of the most influential British bands of the '80s. While many of their contemporaries sold more records, The Smiths' musical legacy casts a much bigger shadow and their influence can still be felt in modern Pop and Rock music many years after their 1987 split. This 23 track collection features many of their most popular songs including 'Panic', 'The Boy with the Thorn in His Side', 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now', 'Bigmouth Strikes Again', 'How Soon Is Now?', 'This Charming Man', 'What Difference Does It Make?', 'William, It Was Really Nothing', 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out', 'Please Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want', and many more. The actor featured on the album cover is Charles Hawtrey, star of many Carry on films. Warner. 2001.

Love it.

I own all the albums, I only bought this to have "How Soon is Now?" on disc, and perhaps to have something to play in the car or workshop. The sound of this disc is WAY superior to the other Smiths CDs I own for some reason. I could not be happier with this purchase.

If you like the Smiths, and you don't plan to own the full discography, this album has all the best hits. I love it.

All other caveats aside, Smiths fans NEED this for its sound

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2005

Complain all you like about the cover art, the random track order, and the fact that it's the umpteenth Smiths comp (and the high price, if you're buying it as an import) ... but anyone who's actually listened to this disc must admit that the sound quality on this disc trumps all other CD issues of the same songs. So, until the entire Smiths catalog is remastered to the same standards (and how I wish that it would be), this CD is a necessary purchase for Smiths fans who care about sound quality. If you fall into that group, you won't be sorry you purchased this disc.

The music, of course, is excellent, but anyone looking at this item on Amazon probably knows that already. My personal track-listing grumble: "The Queen is Dead," a true contender for the most powerful and impressive Smiths song of all, is missing, while "I Know It's Over," seemingly chosen at random from the same album, is included. For this (and for the cover art, which is indeed unattractive), I deduct one star.

One star lost to the vampires

There are a lot of fans doing a lot of bellyaching over this comp and I don't get it. There are 3 post band break-up "hits" comps out there, none of them have been "OK'd" by Morrissey or Marr, this one has better sound and more songs. Every A side is here, as are 5 extra "shoulda been A-sides". Comparing the sound on this with the sound on "Singles" is like night and day. You can program this to play in the order the songs were released if you're really that cranky over the random order of the tunes. Until RHINO does a proper anthology this is the best single disc comp. out there. I knocked off one star because this is an unauthorized overview, but I have a pretty good hunch that this is pretty much the same CD that Marr n' Mozz would have thrown together themselves. Keep in mind that there are no "official" Smiths T-shirts out there either but everyone seems to have one. Fans, product, supply, demand, oldest story in the book.

Wonderfully re-mastered collection

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2011

Prior to purchase, I read a lot of conflicting reviews about various anthologies of the Smiths. I was and am very confused about the what happened with the musical legacy of this fantastically talented group.
Well, I think that the quality of this CD is great. Clean sound. Great dynamics (hear that record companies, not squashed to hell, like so many other recordings of that era).
Highly recommended.

Possibly The Best Indie/Alternative Band Ever?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love The Smiths. This is the definative Best Of collection. A massive collection of songs on one CD. Ideal for playing right through. I personally have it in the car. In my opinion, The Smiths are the cream of the British Indie/Alternative crop. Johnny Marr is one of the greatest guitar players in the world. He adds a somewhat upbeat feel to Morrisey's sometimes somber lyrics. Favourites for me are as follows:

Panic, This Charming Man, How Soon Is Now, The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, Hand In Glove, Last Night I Dreamed That Somebody Loved Me, Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out...

I could go on.
Buy it, Play it and Never turn it off!
