'How Soon Is Now' Various Artists Compilation Album

[Jukebox Jury]

OK, this is few years old (and I'm sure I'll be Kewpie'd and given a link to check out) but I was in Fopp Records, Manchester this morning and they had a few copies of the above album with different artists covering various Smiths songs - at the fab price of £3.

Does anyone have this? Is it worth the 3 quid.... or should I just get a bottle of wine for £2.99 from the local Co-Op instead. Or should I get both?

you can have both, you can have both

Is it the Punkish covers one, with covers by Hundred Reasons, Million Dead etc? If so I'd say I wouldn't really recommend it, the cover of Girlfriend in a Coma is especially awful.

If I was you I'd buy 2 bottles of cheap wine..

is it the queen is dead one ?

yeah i got that one

for £3 i say get it - whenever these songs turn up on a shuffle i tend to listen to them - some of them are alright. Some of them however, are very hard to like. But if there is room on your cd rack / ipod i say get it.

And a bottle of plonk.

You may need the wine after hearing it. Better play safe.

 

[Chartres]

Got it, £3 (that's what I bought mine for) is OK but the covers are horrible, I mean even by The Smiths covers' standard!

Gawd - dont hate me if you hate it!

It's an absolutely awful compilation.

The Marilyn Manson style cover of 'Handsome Devil' by some lunatics calling themselves Lomax is hilarious. Hundred Reasons' version of 'How Soon is Now' is tolerable. Otherwise, nah.
