Releases in Third World countries are usually unlicensed. Rights are not paid to and arrangements are not made with the labels and publishers who own the rights to the Smiths' music. The quality of the packaging for these releases is often subpar and the musical content is often scrambled or extended with songs from other albums/singles. Cassettes sold on the streets of Indonesia, Saudi Arabia or Thailand are the best examples.

Unofficial releases with the same track listing and artwork as official releases are listed under their respective titles in the discography. Whatever can not be listed elsewhere because the track listing is a mish-mash of material from many sources is listed here.

It is nearly impossible to keep an exhaustive list of these flexis because they exist for so many songs of the Smiths' catalogue, each in more than one colour. They are not official releases, the sound quality is not very good and the songs usually fade out before the end.
