THE SMITHS THE SMITHS (DEBUT ALBUM)
VERY OBSCURE 10 TRACK ITALIAN PRESSING, RELEASED ON ROUGH TRADE, CATALOGUE NUMBER ROULP 61
THIS IS NOT THE REGULAR 1984 ITALIAN PRESSING MANUFACTURED BY CGD WHICH HAS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ROUGH 61 AND NEITHER IS IT ONE OF THE SOMEWHAT BORING RECENT RHINO OR WEA REISSUES
IT HAS BEEN RUMOURED THAT THIS WAS MANUFACTURED DURING A MUCH EARLIER REISSUE PROGRAMME OF SMITHS ALBUMS, ALTHOUGH I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF IT WAS ACTUALLY PRODUCED WITH SOME KIND OF PROMOTIONAL PURPOSE IN MIND, NOTLEAST BECAUSE OF THE VERY LIMITED NUMBERS WHICH SEEM TO EXIST (IT HARDLY EVER APPEARS FOR SALE) AND FOR EXAMPLE, THE LACK OF A BARCODE TO ITS SLEEVE
WHILST THIS IS AN OFFICIAL ITALIAN PRESSING WITH S.I.A.E. COPYRIGHT STAMP TO THE LABEL, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO REFERENCE TO VIRGIN DISCHI, THE LABEL WHICH THE BAND WERE SIGNED TO IN THAT COUNTRY
THE VINYL, LABELS AND ALL SLEEVE PACKAGING SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MODELLED ON THE UK VERSION WITH SOME SUBTLE TERRITORIAL (AND OTHER NECESSARY) AMENDMENTS - INCLUDING THE ALL IMPORTANT UNIQUE CATALOGUE NUMBER DISTINCTION
CURIOUSLY, THE REAR SLEEVE TRACKLISTING STATES THIS CHARMING MAN BETWEEN THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE AND STILL ILL, HOWEVER, THE SONG DOES NOT ACTUALLY APPEAR ON THIS ALBUM!
OF COURSE, THIS CHARMING MAN WAS INCLUDED AS A BONUS TRACK ON SIRE LPs, CDs AND CASSETTES, ON ROUGH TRADE UK AND FRANCE CASSETTES AND ON WEA CDs AND CASSETTES, PLUS ON AUSTRALIAN RELEASES ON CBS AND FESTIVAL (BUT AT THE END OF THE ALBUM INSTEAD OF AT THE BEGINNING OF SIDE TWO, OR TRACK SIX)
TRACKS:
- REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN
- YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING NOW
- MISERABLE LIE
- PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES
- THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE
- STILL ILL
- HAND IN GLOVE
- WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
- I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING
