The Queen Is Dead

Great album

Great quality audio, the album is double gate although it has one vinyl disc

This is one of my favorite albums by the Smiths personally. It’s just playful witty banter underneath longing. I love it!

I realize that it may be almost cliché to make a statement that The Queen Is Dead is the best album by The Smiths, a bit like saying that Led Zeppelin IV is the best album by Led Zeppelin. The key difference being, that you could also reasonably argue that IV is Zeppelin’s second, or even third best album. The equivalent argument about The Queen Is Dead, if it could even be started, wouldn’t survive long… For starters, as hard as it is to believe, The Smiths only released four studio albums. Also, the title track to their previous album, Meat Is Murder, is, being honest, kind of a drag, speaking as a huge fan of probably literally every other song that they ever recorded. Strangeways, though brilliant, leans a bit too heavily on the pop side of the band. Their self-titled debut, though legendary for good reason, simply doesn’t possess anything quite as magical as the best songs on TQID. The Queen Is Dead has the perfect amount of everything that The Smiths did incredibly well, even compared to most, if not all, of their best peers. It’s an amazing album, and I’m still genuinely shocked that it took me until I was twenty-seven years old to discover this album, and this band, despite being a fan of virtually every great similar band I can think of, for over a decade! If you enjoy The Queen Is Dead as much as I do, might I suggest that you consider picking up the first Smiths compilation, Hatful Of Hollow, as, like TQID, it is also seemingly flawless, with no overlapping songs!

Llego en perfecto estado. Es gatefold lo que fue una agradable sorpresa. Este es y será siempre el mejor álbum de the smiths. Ideal si estas iniciando colección.

Absolutely peak album. I love how old albums sound, like they were mad for vinyl. New albums just don't have the same vibe. Record arrived undamaged and plays well

everything was perfect, the record is very beautiful, except that when i put it on the record player, side 2 sounds distorted, i think it's a factory error because the first side sounds pretty good, but i really recommend it, i think i just had bad luck this time, I'll most likely order another one like it in a while

arrived quickly and as advertised condition! Will order again soon.

And if you're so very entertaining Why are you on your own tonight? A Morrissey masterclass. Play this to death before your own.

Good

Arrived in a very secure package. The plastic and outside looked completely fine. There doesn't appear to be any scratches on the record. If you're looking for a good The Smiths album to listen to, I would recommend this one. Contains bangers.

Happy with the quality!

Låter helt ok för att vara en återutgåva.
