The Sound of The Smiths. After a hasty two-part Best Of and a Singles collection were pushed into the market by Warner Bros. in the early '90s following the demise of The Smiths, the much-belated Sound of The Smiths is a sigh of classic Britpop relief. Be sure to pick up the two-disc deluxe edition. The last thing I ever expected to do was purchase another compilation of cobbled-together Smiths tracks, but the cobbling and remastering of this Rhino set was done by Johnny Marr and Morrissey, so how to resist? In addition to several live cuts, the second disc contains rare B-sides "Jeane" and "Wonderful Woman," while the iTunes version includes instrumental "The Draize Train" as a bonus track.
