The Smiths Singles Box is a limited edition box set compilation of 45 RPM 7-inch single releases by English rock band The Smiths. It contains repressings of the Smiths' first ten 7-inch singles released in the United Kingdom between May 1983 through May 1986, as well as the Dutch-only single for "The Headmaster Ritual" and the DJ promotional single of "Still Ill," housed in reproductions of their original picture sleeves. The box also includes a 14x14 poster of the single sleeves, four collector's pins and a download code for the mp3 versions.[1][2] It was released on 8 December 2008 in the UK.
A compact disc version of the box set was issued on 22 June 2009 and featured a different track selection, largely reproducing the expanded track listings of the original 12-inch singles.[3][4]
The cover of the box features actor Joel Fabiani, taken from the TV series Department S and selected by Smiths frontman Morrissey.[5][6]
