Smiths rarities album doing the rounds

A Smiths compilation called 'Rare' has appeared on download stores including iTunes and Amazon, though some bloggers question whether it is legitimate.

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.
