Fans of The Smiths, and in particular, Morrissey, will be pleased to know that Rhino and Parlophone will reissue the 1994 classic, Vauxhall And I in a 2CD 20th Anniversary Edition, as well as a 180g-weight vinyl LP (without the live set bonus). The new reissue will featured new remastering, an added disc that contains a live recording of Morrissey’s stand at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on February 26, 1995, and an updated booklet.
As fans know, Vauxhall And I kicked open the doors for Morrissey, giving him a stable, and growing fan-base on which to build his solo career on. The album generated a hit with “The More You Ignore Me, I Closer I Get”, especially in a difficult to please US marketplace.
The Definitive Master will be reissued in the US in its 20th Anniversary Edition on June 3, on 2CD. LP, and DD.
