The Smiths James Dean

THE SMITHS AND JAMES

DEAN ON THE BOULEVARD

OF BROKEN DREAMS.

ITALIAN POP-CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AT ITS ABSOLUTE BEST. THE

RESULT BEING THE

GREATEST BAND LYRIC

BOOK WE HAVE SEEN SINCE EARLIER THIS WEEK!



Accidents will happen. James Dean painted by Helnwein. The hyperrealist painting must have sold hundreds of thousands of posters in the eighties. And then - for this exceptionally rare Italian lyric book / folder - they slapped THE SMITHS across it. Perfection is always a long shot - but it looks like they made it. 
 


So many great phrases for the vegans and vegatarians on holiday in Italy this summer. There are a few mistakes in the English side of things though and the Google app retranslation throws up some great variations on the theme. 




Animated people rarely die. Even when struck by on the head by an anvil dropped from the top of the Grand Canyon they tend to pull themselves back together. The poor animals are not so lucky. 
 


Morrissey and the semi-legible text layout. 
 


And there is this. Or rather these. Postcards from the edge of heaven. Two whole sheets of four Smiths artwork postcards (eight in total) are included in this folder. 
 


Even the back of the postcards are dreamy. 
 


And, in addition to all the lyrics of the first three Smiths albums, pics of the band and eight colour postcards, you get this. A screenprint in black and white of Helnwein's classic study. Looking more like a photograph than a painting. Looking like, had he lived in 1984, he would have had a Walkman and be listening to The Smiths...

This lyric book / folder / Smiths exhibition in your bedroom is EXCEPTIONAL scarce. We really can't find a second copy. So buy this one quick and be done with it! On the button below.
