It's Monday, which means The Smiths have unleashed a previously unreleased live song from their vaults in celebration of their forthcoming The Queen Is Dead expanded reissues. This week they shared a recording of "Frankly, Mr. Shankly," which was captured live at the Performing Arts Center, in Milwaukee on August 16th 1986. Like last week's rarity, the recording will not be included on the expanded editions of The Queen Is Dead.
Stream below, plus head over to The Queen Is Dead site to view fan tributes and more. Fans are encouraged to participate by posting Smiths memories on social media with a fitting hashtag (for example, #TQID2017).
The Queen Is Dead will be reissued as a 2CD, 5LP, and 3CD/1DVD box on October 20th. All three editions are available to pre-order through Amazon. 2CD, 3CD/1DVD, 5LP
