After many years of waiting, Rhino Records UK presents Complete, eight albums by The Smiths lovingly reworked by Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and Rhino UK and packaged together for the first time. Each album has been remastered from the original tape sources by engineer Frank Arkwright, with assistance from Marr, at London's world-famous Metropolis Studios.

The result? The hands-down best-sounding, most-definitive pressings of the Smiths music that the world has ever seen. Every one of the uber-influential group's studio songs, B-sides and all, in one place, forever preserved on a format and in a set worthy of their magnitude.

Complete 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 its sole live album Rank (1988) as well as firm fan favorite compilations Hatful Of Hollow (1984), The World Wont Listen (1987), and Louder Than Bombs (1987).

Of these albums, five are single-LPs while three are double-LP sets. Fans will recognize all of the original artwork and some of the contents, as a 12" booklet featuring new liner notes helps round out the package. But no one will believe the tremendous improvement in sound. Do not wait on your copy: They are limited to 10,000 worldwide, and given the Smiths' following, they will not last.

Contrived by Johnny Marr, The Smiths evolved when Marr unearthed Morrissey and insisted upon a collaboration. The idea was to produce songs which were always instantaneous and listenable whilst also provoking deep thought; emeshing Morrissey's words with Marr's music in a sound which, above all, would stand apart without being inaccessible or esoteric. The guitar-based songs would blend melody without havoc, as the words - born out of absolute physical necessity - would tug at the straps of cultural straightjackets.

Christened as an antidote to a prevalent idea that modern groups would near a far-reaching, multi-syllabic name to authorise their artistry, The Smiths were completed with Andy Rourke (the bass guitar) and Mike Joyce (the drums). Joyce had served time with a clump of healthily depraved groups, whilst the other three members were without any serious musical involvement. The Smiths first surfaced in September '82, and the group determined that all their moves be surefooted and worthwhile. As a live group, The Smiths believed that it was possible to replenish appetites of both the soul and the pelvis simultaneously. They were urban, but never bleak; there was a humour in tragedy, solace in unity. The voice was the collective rage of all suppressed hysterics: Morrissey popularised the creased brow.

Always Manchester-based, The Smiths contended that "one has to live somewhere..." and soon rewrote the history of their city. Following misdirected collisions with major record companies, the group were adopted by Rough Trade, and the first result was the single "Hand in Glove / Handsome Devil." The sound attacked the depersonalised sterility of their contemporaries whose clinical synthesized rhythms, The Smiths believed, left audiences feeling non-human and petrified of emotion. Lyrically, the fundamental idea was to use phraseology which had simply never been used before.

The Smiths took firm control of any promotional images which bore their name, and naturally their artwork would always counteract accepted ingredients of popular music, without being hostile. The Smiths maintained the integrity and ethos of their manifesto across four studio albums and a live album that was issued after their split. Their legacy matches their original ambition - to produce songs which were always instantaneous and listenable whilst also provoking deep thought. And there you are.

Produced by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, Meat Is Murder is the band's sole studio album to reach #1 on the U.K. charts. The Headmaster Ritual and I Want the One I Can't Have are fine elaborations on the formula the band introduced on their debut, while Rusholme Ruffians is an infectious take on rockabilly. There was no other British group making music quite like this in 1985.

Arguably the Smiths' masterpiece, The Queen Is Dead features the elegance, craftsmanship and humor which has led the band to musical eminence. Marr's dense web of guitars create a rich musical foundation here for some of Morrissey's most affecting set of lyrics. The wistful The Boy With the Thorn in His Side and the epic There Is a Light That Never Goes Out are two of the crowning achievements in the band's oeuvre and they provide the ideal cornerstone for what is a remarkable overall album.

With their eponymous 1984 debut, The Smiths began their tenure as the definitive British indie rock band as well as the torchbearers of a new musical era. Johnny Marr's inventive songwriting and Morrissey's unconventional croon made for an evocative sound that was both original and innovative. Songs about homosexuality (Hand in Glove) and child molestation and murder (Suffer Little Children) enshrouded the band in controversy and cultlike devotion, both of which would only grow from here.

Morrissey’s solo debut album Viva Hate was originally released in March of 1988 just six months after the release of the final Smiths’ album, Strangeways, Here We Come.

Keeping the core jangling guitar sound of his previous band, Morrissey’s first record provided the ultimate platform for his by-then legendary lyrical abilities and yielded such classics as "Suedehead," "Everyday Is Like Sunday," "Little Man, What Now?" and "Margaret on a Guillotine."

Viva Hate has now been remastered for the first time (supervised by the original producer Steven Street), comes with brand new artwork, an introduction by Chrissie Hynde and includes the rare track "Treat Me Like A Human Being."

Track Listing:
1. Alsatian Cousin
2. Little Man, What Now?

Morrissey is often recognized as the most important British musician of his generation. The New York Times recently stated, Morrissey isn't just any singer: he has become one of the defining rock stars of the past few decades by virtue of his grand voice, his grander songs, and his charming habit of playing with melodrama. His influence is felt worldwide through the countless artists that cite him as their primary inspiration. Years of Refusal is a masterful work that finds Morrissey and the band at their best with a muscular sound and the inimitable voice and lyrics of a legend.
