New Smiths tribute album

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

Indie imprint American Laundromat Recordings this fall will issue a brand-new tribute album to The Smiths featuring newly recorded covers by the likes of Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch, The Wedding Present and its spin-off Cinerama, and former Throwing Muses member Tanya Donelly.
Although that tracklist isn’t quite finalized and an exact release date isn’t set, Please, Please, Please: A Tribute to The Smiths is expected out this fall, and a preliminary list of artists and covers includes at 17 participants — including David Gedge, who is recording “Hand in Glove” with the Wedding Present and “London” with Cinerama.
Other contributors of note: The Vivian Girls’ Katy Goodman, who is contributing a track to be announced later; the Candy Butchers’ Mike Viola tackling “How Soon Is Now?”; and Martsch offering up “Reel Around the Fountain,” an apt choice given the live Built to Spill staple “Virginia Reel Around the Fountain” he first recorded with the Halo Benders.
The Please, Please, Please: A Tribute to The Smiths disc is now available for preorder from the label, which, in the past three or four years, has released such titles as Just Like Heaven: A Tribute to The Cure and Dig for Fire: A Tribute to Pixies.

Cinerama, “London”

Well, I don't like tribute albums anyway... mainly when I don't know who are the artists as in this case. But the cover is truly beautiful - although it has nothing to do with Smiths' albums.

 

[malvachat]

The cover looks familiar to me in some way.
It's not a photo from a scene in the 60s film blow-up is it?

It looks like The Queen is Dead cover, somehow.

this was discussed round these parts a few months ago - where's Kewpie when you need her?
it's good news, though. two of may favourite pop groups / pop singers of all time (Leisure Society and T Donnelly) covering a Smiths song.
bring it on!

New Smiths tribute album...The Wedding Present, Tanya Donelly, Doug Martsch

American Laundromat Records has enlisted a herd of indie-rock luminaries — including The Wedding Present, Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch, Throwing Muses co-founder Tanya Donelly, Telekinesis and Stars — to contribute covers of more than 20 classic songs by The Smiths for a new tribute album to be released this December.

We first reported on Please, Please, Please: A Tribute to the Smiths in its early stages last February, but the 20-song tracklist is now finalized and its release is set for Dec. 13.
The set is available for pre-order in three configurations: a $13 bundle, which includes the CD and a one-inch promo pin; a $20 bundle, which includes the CD, a limited-edition 7-inch with three more covers, a download of those tracks, and the pin; or a $35 bundle, which includes the CD, the 7-inch, the downloads, the pin, a T-shirt and a “private preview of the album.”
In a fitting touch, the label — which previously has released the compilations Just Like Heaven: A Tribute to The Cure and Dig for Fire: A Tribute to the Pixies — was able to secure a photo of ’60s U.K. pop star Sandie Shaw for the cover art; Shaw, of course, was a favorite of both Morrissey and Johnny Marr who, in 1984, covered The Smiths’ “Hand in Glove.”
Also of note: The CD features a newly recorded cover of “Reel Around the Fountain” from Built to Spill’s Martsch, who, in 1998, paid tribute to that song with “Virginia Reel Around the Fountain,” the opening track to The Rebels Not In, the third album from his side project The Halo Benders.

Re: New Smiths tribute album...The Wedding Present, Tanya Donelly, Doug Martsch

thank you, Mr Seeker. Tanya Donelly is one of my favourite lady singers of all time so I'd love to hear her sing a Smiths song. I'm sure in earlier reports, tho, the Leisure Society were due to cover 'That Joke' which I was also hugely looking forward to. wonder what happened with that...

Re: New Smiths tribute album...The Wedding Present, Tanya Donelly, Doug Martsch

tanya d is one of my faves as well. i still dream about the feed the tree video.

and wow, both the wedding present and cinerama on the same record! dave gedge-a-go-go!

Re: New Smiths tribute album...The Wedding Present, Tanya Donelly, Doug Martsch

Tanya Donnelly is indeed an underrated genius and her contribution will be worth the asking price, although I will, of course, download it from Mediafire.

Indeed Wild Beasts would have been amazing. Shame... I do want to give the rest a listen.

Hey man this might seem like a totally random question but, do you think you could tell me all about power leveling in Diablo 3? Not sure if you're the right person to ask!

Now why would you ask an almost total stranger an odd thing like that? Do you think he may have some inside track in the Diablo world?
