Johnny Marr - Boomslang - 2LP (LP)

Released in 2003, 'Boomslang' was Johnny Marr's first solo studio album. After his departure from The Smiths in 1987, Marr spent a number of years with the likes of The Pretenders before recruiting Zak Starkey (drums), Alonza Bevan (Bass) and more to form The Healers in 2000. Recorded at Clear Studios in Manchester, with James Spencer (New Order, The Charlatans), 'Boomslang' comprised of eleven tracks that combined his signature guitar playing with heavy psychedelic rhythms. This expanded version has been fully remastered at Abbey Road and includes seven rarities, chosen by Johnny as well as brand new art direction by his long-time collaborator Mat Bancroft.
