The Smiths have very covertly released two vinyl singles, exclusive to indie record stores. These are a two-track 7” picture disc and four track 12”, both with newly designed artwork, for The Queen Is Dead.

The release was intended to be deliberately vague and more of a prompt for people to just go and check out their local record store. There’s already an air of intrigue among The Smiths fans, it’s all quite exciting!
