Rhino Issues 7" By The Smiths And New Order For Record Store Day

BURBANK, CA- To celebrate Record Store Day this April 18, Rhino offers
exclusive 7-inch vinyl releases by The Smiths and New Order. The Smiths
vinyl single features "The Headmaster Ritual" on Side A and "Oscillate
Wildly" on Side B. This is the rarest commercially issued single ever
released by the band. It was originally released on Megadisc in Holland but
never available in the U.S. It features the original Dutch package with
black & white "cowboy" sleeve. In addition, it's been mastered from the
original tapes.

The 7-inch New Order single features "Temptation" on Side A and "Hurt" on
Side B, and has never before been available in the U.S. as well. This
7-inch version uses separate recordings and features different mixes from
the original 12" single. "Temptation" is the song New Order has played live
more than any other. Both The Smiths and New Order vinyl singles will be
available April 18 from Rhino Records at all independent retail outlets for
a suggested list price of $5.98.
