More East Midlands observations from the outstanding Mark Hibbett (and his team of plucky Validators). ‘The Lesson of The Smiths’ is a warning not to follow the herd (or not follow the herd, it’s a little like a double edged sword this one) wrapped in a sleeve that’s worth buying the single for on its own. Loads of extra tracks (including the classic ‘The Gay Train’, recently de constructed by the entirely clueless Plan B magazine) , a Smiths cover, alternative version of the title track, lyrics, an entire free live album (in mp3 form) and literally a few things more make this a typically great value for money package from the greatest label in Leicester.
