Widely considered to be both The Smiths' finest work and one of the greatest albums ever made, The Queen is Dead has cast a significant influence over subsequent generations since it was first released in the summer of 1986. The record features several of the band's finest moments, from the classic singles Bigmouth Strikes Again, There is a Light That Never Goes Out and The Boy With a Thorn in His Side to legendary fan favourites such as I Know It's Over, Cemetary Gates and the title track. This reissue represents the first time that The Smiths' back catalogue has been revisited in such a way.

This deluxe 5LP box set features a brand new 2017 master of the album as a single sleeve LP along with two gatefold-LPs worth of bonus material. The first collects a wealth of demos, B-sides and alternative versions, while the second features Live in Boston, a performance recorded at the Great Woods Center For The Performing Arts on 5 August 1986. All come housed in a lift-off lid box.
