The Sound of the Smiths (2008) är den definitiva samlingen av The Smiths — 23 spår remastrade 2008 som spänner hela bandets karriär från debuten Hand in Glove (1983) till Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me (1987). Med Morrissey och Johnny Marr i spetsen förändrade The Smiths brittisk popmusik för alltid.

Här finns alla de stora: How Soon Is Now?, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, This Charming Man och Girlfriend in a Coma — plus en självsklarhet som What Difference Does It Make? i en BBC Peel Session-version. Den perfekta startpunkten och det ultimata samlingsalbumet. Denna utgåva från 2024.
