Smiths, The - Rank flac album

Rank is the only live album by English band the Smiths. It was released in September 1988 by their British record company Rough Trade, and reached No. 2 in the British charts. In the United States, the album was released on Sire Records and made No. 77. Rank was released as a contractual obligation.

The Smiths were an English rock band, formed in 1982 in Manchester by Morrissey and Johnny Marr.

For many Smiths fans, Rank is as close as they will get to a live performance from Morrissey, Johnny Marr, and company. Recorded live at The National Ballroom in London in October of 1986, roughly six months before they disbanded altogether, these 14 songs capture the Smiths performing in full-on rock-star mode. Though Grant Showbiz's production and engineering work consistently places Morrissey's voice too loud in respect to the rest of the band, the performance is suitably epic, hit-packed, and engrossing.

It was recorded within two months of The Smiths' very last concert and forms a bridge between the release of "The Queen Is Dead" and subsequent material such as "Panic", "Is It Really So Strange" and "Ask". The death of The Smiths was by no means assured when "Rank" was recorded but it was a fact of history by the time it was released.
