Widely considered to be both The Smiths' finest work and one of the greatest albums ever made, 'The Queen Is Dead' has cast a significant influence over subsequent generations since it was first released in 1986.
This reissue represents the first time that The Smiths' back catalogue has been revisited in such a way. The album features several of the band's finest moments including the title track and 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out', as well as the iconic singles 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side' and 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'.
Set includes 2017 master of the album, additional recordings featuring demos, B-sides and alternative versions, the 'Live In Boston' album recorded at the Great Woods Center For The Performing Arts on 5th August 1986, and a DVD featuring the 2017 master of album in 96kHz / 24-bit PCM stereo and 'The Queen Is Dead - A Film By Derek Jarman'.
