To promote this week’s U.K. release of The Smiths’ career-spanning Complete box set in CD and digital formats, the U.K. arm of Rhino Records put together this minute-long commercial to advance the “iTunes LP” edition of the set, which features newly remastered versions of all eight of the band’s albums, plus a complete discography with lyrics and artwork, as well as newly commissioned liner notes. And, for U.S. residents, there’s still time to enter to win the super-deluxe CD-and-vinyl edition via our ongoing contest.
Also, to get a first glimpse of the box, check out Superdeluxeedition’s photos.
