"The Smiths have never sounded so good" Johnny Marr, 2011

Rhino Records is proud to present Complete, the complete The Smiths catalogue across eight albums lovingly reworked by Johnny Marr and Rhino .

The ultimate The Smiths remasters collection. The collection 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), their sole live album Rank (1988) as well as firm fan favourite compilations Hatful Of Hollow (1984), The World Won't Listen (1987) & Louder Than Bombs (1987).

Each album has been taken back to original tape sources and remastered by master-engineer Frank Arkwright, assisted by Johnny Marr at the world famous Metropolis Studios in London.

Your box set will be placed in a special carton to protect the contents. We have shipped hundreds of these without damage and have received positive feedback for our expert packaging & shipping.

We began selling music back in 1980 and our LPs are generally NEW OLD STOCK that has been sitting in our warehouse an average of 20 years. We stopped including LPs in our catalog back in the 90's when our customers migrated to CD and cassette. We have thousands of vinyl albums in stock and have finally gotten around to listing them here. All are new & unplayed - domestic (U.S.A) albums are factory-sealed while Imports traditionally shipped to dealers unwrapped while the discs are new & unplayed. A note to collectors: Our set sale items are modestly priced and I describe the items in general terms such as indicating if the cover has a cutout notch etc. since some buyers such as collectors and re-sellers care. As far as minor blemishes to the cover, bends in the cardboard, seam splits and tears in the shrinkwrap are concerned, I will note if I see them but after adding a number of items each evening, my eyes begin to glaze over and I am less likely to notice such subtleties. Remember that these items have been on the shelf for decades and some may show minor signs of storage or shelf wear. And while we pack the album nice & tight in the carton when we ship, it is anyone's guess how the box will be handled while in transit. I prefer to sell to people who are going to open the shrinkwrap and play the record and can live with a mildly bent corner. Feel free to ask about an item if you feel so compelled.

Combined shipping: Buy multiple items from us and we will reduce the shipping fee since sending numerous items in one box saves postage. eBay's invoice program shows us when someone buys more than one item and we can reduce the shipping fee. For shipments in the U.S.A. the first item is $4.00 and each additional is $1.00. The best thing to do is to request an invoice when you are done shopping. The savings for international shipping is not as dramatic, but is significant and you will save money.

Expert mailorder seller & shipper since 1980 as shown by our enviable feedback. A handling fee applies to international orders and the international buyer is responsible for any import duties or fees imposed on actual selling price.
