Rhino Records UK announced today some news that is going to make the Smiths fan in all of us very very happy, well at least the U.K. fans, on the 3rd of October they will release The Smiths Complete - Deluxe Collectors Boxset.
The collection includes all four of the band's studio albums – ‘The Smiths’ (1984), ‘Meat Is Murder’ (1985), ‘The Queen Is Dead’ (1986), ‘Strangeways, Here We Come’ (1987) and their sole live album ‘Rank’ (1988) as well as firm fan favourite compilations ‘Hatful Of Hollow’ (1984), ‘The World Won’t Listen’ (1987) and ‘Louder Than Bombs’ (1987).
Each has been taken back to original tape sources and remastered by Johnny Marr and Frank Arkwright at the world famous Metropolis Studios in London.
Here is the breakdown for the Deluxe Set
DELUXE COLLECTORS BOXSET
**INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED & STRICTLY LIMITED TO JUST 3000 COPIES WORLDWIDE**
A heavyweight trunk boxset including:
> All eight album releases taken back to original tape sources and remastered by Johnny Marr and Frank Arkwright
> All eight albums on Mini LP replica style CDs in gatefold card wallets
> All eight albums on 180g 12” vinyl LPs (5 singles, 3 doubles)

The Deluxe set will set you back almost $400 Canadian, and that doesn’t included the shipping costs, and because this set is very heavy those costs will be astronomical, so I think I will be waiting for it to be made available on this side of the pond, but if you have that kind of dough laying around here is the link to the Rhino UK Site.
