{"product_id":"the-queen-is-dead","title":"The Queen is Dead","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThis is the value of working at cross-purposes: The Smiths were Morrissey's excuse to undulate his wry, disaffected lyrics, and Johnny Marr's vehicle for his sharp, chiming, pop songs. Their favorite kind of compromise made them essentially a singles band, and The Queen Is Dead has a couple of their best (notably \"The Boy with the Thorn in His Side,\" one of the greatest pop expressions of the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name). But it also has some wonderful compromises of different kinds: the bizarrely romantic \"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,\" and \"Cemetry Gates,\" where Marr covers up for Morrissey's floridity with shimmying rockabilly. --Douglas Wolk\n\nProduct Description\n\nOriginal Sire\/Rough Trade version of the band's 1986 third album featuring the classics \"Cemetery Gates,\" \"Bigmouth Strikes Again,\" \"Vicar In A Tutu\" \u0026amp; more.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002L9J\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002L9J.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:The Smiths\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
