The Many Faces of The Smiths, released in 2019, is a double-LP limited edition on marbled vinyl live/tribute European release. The first album is live, a Smiths concert from 1984 recorded just before the release of their debut record The Smiths.

It’s really really great: Morrissey sounds fantastic and Marr’s guitar is jangly perfection. It has many of my favorite Smiths songs including Hand in Glove, This Charming Man, What Difference Does It Make?, Pretty Girls Make Graves and Handsome Devil among other Smiths classics.

The second album is a tribute to the Smiths, recorded by various artists and first released on American Laundromat Records as Please Please Please: A Tribute to The Smiths in 2011. As one reviewer states from American Songwriter, it’s “a somewhat obscure but skilled collection of artists draws out the dreariness of the ‘80s alt-rockers”.

There is a Light That Never Goes Out, by Trespassers William, has a subtle alt-country vibe. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, by Chikita Violenta, has a really cool shoegaze. And Mike Viola & The Section Quartet’s version of How Soon Is Now? is really haunting, the music completely on strings, takes an amazing song and, while not making it better, adds some lushness.
