Smiths release 7-inch with anti-Trump message for World Record Day

This weekend World Record Store Day celebrated its tenth anniversay on Saturday, April 22nd. The annual event took place to celebrate independent record stores across the globe.

Over 500 exclusive releases were made available, with live albums from icons such as David Bowie, a triple live album from Iggy Pop’s Post Pop Depression gig and The Cure’s greatest hits on deluxe vinyl.

Joining this year's releases was a 7-inch vinyl from the legendary British band, The Smiths, which contained two previously unreleased tracks yesterday.

Although the release was exclusive to the UK, it had a special anti-Trump message etched on it, saying: ‘Trump Will Kill America’.

Singer-songwriter, Morrissey, previously mocked the President by using a meme of him to announce his first tour date of 2017.

The Smiths' record also included a demo mix of 'The Queen is Dead'‘The Boy With the Thorn in His Side’ and an early studio version of ‘Rubber Ring’.
