Crew shirts A white polo crew shirt alleged to have been worn by tour staff on the Irish dates of the tour promoting the Smiths' debut album has made it on the collectors market. It shows on the front the name of the band in the same font as on the debut album, next to a green shamrock. A black polo crew shirt alleged to have been worn by tour staff on the US leg of the Queen Is Dead tour has made it on the collectors market. It has the words "The Smiths / 1986 US Tour" in pink" over the left breast. Authenticity needs to be confirmed.
Other The backdrop of Alain Delon used during the Queen Is Dead tour surfaced on the collectors market in 2011. A Copymasters cassette featuring background sound effects to be heard during performances of "Meat Is Murder" on the second UK leg of the 1986 Queen Is Dead tour has made it on the collectors market in 2014. The cassette is a commercial Maxell UDII-46 of the type sold for personal use. A Copymasters sticker label was applied at the top of it with the information "The Smiths B/Track Meat Is Murder" printed onto it. The insert is a generic Copymasters one featuring information such as label, band name, date (22/8/86) and track listing (Cows & Machines, Lamb, Swarm). |
