THE SMITHS LOUDER THAN BOMBS
HARD TO FIND 24 TRACK UK DOUBLE ALBUM RELEASED ON ROUGH TRADE IN 1988, CATALOGUE NUMBER ROUGH 255
This is one rare occurrence in which the UK pressing of a Smiths release was modelled after a foreign pressing, namely the American edition on Sire. However, it must be said that the quality and looks of the packaging was significantly improved. The front of the sleeve shows the usual LP artwork. The back is slightly different to that of the American edition: the barcode was moved to the bottom right corner and the British catalogue number replaced it in the top right corner. The Sire credits at the very bottom were dropped. The sleeve is still gatefold and it includes lyrics to the 23 vocal tracks, but the text on the spine is black. The inner sleeves are brown but they are thicker and glossier than the US issue and the catalogue number on them was changed to the British one. The most noticeable difference between the American and British pressings is the labels. The British ones are black with grey text in the classic Rough Trade layout, which is a huge improvement over the generic yellow labels of the Sire edition
