Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

It's a shame that the people responsible for The Very Best of The Smiths were neither shameless nor honest enough to include "Paint a Vulgar Picture" on this compilation. Morrissey's awesomely prescient analysis of record company rapacity ("Re-package! Re-package! Re-evaluate the songs/ Double-pack with a photograph/Extra track and a tacky badge") would have been a suitable introduction: The Smiths are already one of the most collected, compiled and anthologised bands in rock history (we've been here already with Best. . . 1, Best. . . 2, The World Won't Listen, Louder Than Bombs and Singles, and there's nothing new on The Very Best Of bar a claim that it is "Digitally Remastered", as if anyone can tell). However, it could reasonably be argued that The Very Best Of is not entirely redundant: it appears at a time when the British indie tradition that The Smiths raised to heights still unequalled is now in the hands of people who never knew these songs, who were still in short pants when The Smiths split in 1988. It might be hoped, therefore, that this collection will serve two purposes: one, to inspire today's crop in pursuit of the heights scaled here; two, to remind an increasingly unfussy audience of just how dull, timid and witless the likes of Travis, Coldplay and Stereophonics sound alongside "This Charming Man", "The Boy With The Thorn in His Side" and "How Soon Is Now?". --Andrew Mueller

2.0 out of 5 stars これはいかんでしょう。, 2005/10/22
リマスター盤ですが、正直 ジョニー・マーのギターの音が

死んでます。特に「心に茨を持つ少年」のギターの音には

閉口しました。やっとスミスのリマスターが出たので

買って聴いたのですがガッカリです。

リマスターやりなおしが必要です!

2.0 out of 5 stars 失敗リマスター、今さら買う価値は無い!!, 2009/2/23

サンデーカットさんのレビューのとおりです!!
「心に茨を持つ少年」が最悪ですね。
ジョニー・マーの美メロギターがほとんど死んでます。
シングルバージョンとのことなので、こういうアレンジなのでしょうか。
ひどすぎます!!
アルバム全体を通して、こもった感じの音質です。ダメですね!!
2008最新リマスター2CDセットが最高の音質なので、
このCDは今さら買う価値は無いでしょう。

4.0 out of 5 stars 最高です。でも、やっぱりちょっと最低。, 2003/10/22
By ゴリー・ポッター - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
まず、なにげに「アスク」のシングル・バージョンが初CD化なので、即買い(ちょっとテンポ早いめか?)。「サムバディ・ラヴド・ミー」のエディットはやめてほしかったけどね。

次に、このアルバム用の最新のデジタルリマスター、これにつきる。これまでスミスと言えば、バンド内の人間関係を反映して(笑)、ギターとヴォ-カルばかり前に出てドラムとベースの音がしょぼいミキシングで、華奢で線の細い印象だったと思う。でも、このアルバムの音はドラムのスネアの抜けはいいし、ベースは低音強調の骨太のしっかりした音になっている(といっても、U2やキュア-ほどじゃないが)。
ただ、ジョニー・マーはこの非常にバランスよくまとまったミキシングが気に入らなかったらしく、ワーナ-を訴えてこのアルバムを廃盤にしてやる、と吠えてたらしいが(英国の雑誌情報)、結局どうなったんだろう?

ただ、問題点は曲の並びと選曲で、簡潔に言うと、「なぜサムバディ・ラヴド・ミーのすぐ後にストップ・ミーを持ってくるんだ?これじゃただの脳天気な馬鹿じゃないか!」ということなのである。やっぱり、サムバディ・ラヴド・ミーの後はアンハッピー・バースデイで締めたいもの。あるいはジーンとかでもよろしい(いっそ、スウェードヘッドという手もあるが。無理か)。
とにかく、スミスファンを自認する方で、「自分は耳がよろしい」と思われる方は必聴でしょう。で、「シングルズ」と聴き較べて下さい。ちょっと高いけど。

5.0 out of 5 stars かっこいい!
モリッシーマジック炸裂です。
80年代初頭に突如英国で表れたバンド。モリッシーの持つ独特な歌い方と,精巧なサウンド構成がたまらないです。
