The Smiths: The Complete BBC Sessions

TREON311

A collection of BBC radio sessions by The Smiths.

 

Notes:

This collection is made up of the best sources I have been able to track down. Most of these tracks are untouched by myself as the sound quality is already excellent. Track 07 and 09 have both had some light EQ adjustment but the archive nature of these tracks means that not a lot can be done to improve the sound quality. Tracks 24 to 32 have all been remastered and are an improvement over what's been previously posted on the blog. Track 33 has only been lightly edited to remove unwanted silence. Tracks 34 & 35 are both from an imperfect FM source but I've done my best to clean them up.
