The Smiths – Hatful Of Hollow

This is what I've put together from compiling information available at the time of release in 2009, 2011 and 2012:

* 2009: Rhino, licensing from Warner, released a remaster of the Smiths albums on vinyl in US and UK; remaster was done by Johnny Marr and Frank Arkwright
* 2011: Rhino, licensing from Warner, released these album remasters, as well as remasters by Marr and Arkwright of Rank, Hatful of Hollow, and Louder Than Bombs as CD and vinyl box sets
* 2011: Warner released the remasters by Arkwright and Marr as individual entries on CD, at least in Europe
* 2012: Warner released the remasters by Arkwright and Marr as individual entries, on vinyl, and only in Europe
* Since 2012: both Rhino and Warner have reissued some of the the Arkwright and Marr remasters, on vinyl and CD and in some cases multiple times; countries vary

This entry is Warner, btw.

This sounds fantastic, very happy with the sound but in general the reason for the comments and the reason you need to crank the volume is because this needs to be split onto 2 discs. Should never have been on a single disc in the first place 40 years ago, These need room to breathe.

This absolutely pops. No idea what these nerds are on about .

They crammed a lot on here, and you gotta turn the volume way up to listen at a respectable volume, but this mostly sounds good. The end of Side A kinda sounds very flat for some reason, but the rest of the album is very dynamic

Lots of music on each side, but this seems to be pretty well mastered, you do have to crank it a bit... I've always listened to this one more than any of their other official albums... white paper inner so it required a cleaning.

Wasn't pleased with my first Dutch press of this album, it sounded quite off. I prefer the remastered version, although it's a bit quiet it sounds great with the volume up! Also little to no background noise :)

Great pressing! The grooves are very thing yet very pleasing when turned up. Like crank this thing for the best experience lol.
Please only get this for a reasonable price, I keep seeing this for $60+ when it isn’t…

Low volume and bass, but easily solved with eq and volume knob. Other than that it's very good for this lenght

My copy is okay. Despite a perfect looking record, a bit of noise inbetween songs, frustrating ten seconds of clicks on Hand In Glove, an album this long on a single LP isn't going to be perfect, I suppose.

Pretty low volume on mine. And it lacks bright and also bass.
Anyway, its a great collection of songs.
