Sarà pubblicata il 20 ottobre 2017 la riedizione deluxe di The Queen is Dead, l’album più popolare e acclamato nella discografia degli Smiths.
Il disco è stato completamente rimasterizzato e sarà edito dalla Warner Bros in una versione composta da tre CD e un DVD.
Nella nuova edizione saranno incluse varie versioni demo, le B-side uscite nei singoli pubblicati in quel periodo, un concerto registrato durante il tour successivo alla pubblicazione dell’album -precisamente al Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts di Boston, il 5 agosto 1986- e un DVD che include il cortometraggio diretto e dedicato da Derek Jarman a The Queen Is Dead, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out e Panic (pubblicata come singolo durante l’estate ’86 ma non inclusa nell’album).
