A new Smiths collection called 'Rare', which features a number of b-sides and other rarities, including a studio version of Johnny Marr's instrumental 'The Draize', has appeared on a number of legit download platforms, including iTunes and Amazon. However, some in the blogosphere are questioning whether the compilation is a legit or bootleg release. Warner Music, who have owned the entire Smiths catalogue since the earlier nineties and released several Smiths compilations themselves, are yet to comment on 'Rare'.
