Boomslang

Released in 2003, Boomslang was Johnny Marrs 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.Twenty years on Im pleased we created the music and this new release of Boomslang has given me the opportunity to revisit it and present some songs that we werent able to include the first time around.Never before on Vinyl and not currently available on DSPs, Boomslang will be available for the first time on Double Black 180g vinyl, 2CD and Digital deluxe. The album has been fully remastered at Abbey Road and includes 7 rarities, chosen by Johnny as well as brand new art direction by his longtime collaborator Mat Bancroft.
