Released in 2003, Boomslang was Johnny Marr’s first solo studio album. After his departure from The Smiths in 1987, Marr spent a number of years with the likes of The
Pretenders before recruiting Zak Starkey (drums), Alonza Bevan (Bass) and more to form The Healers in 2000.
Recorded at Clear Studios in Manchester, with James Spencer (New Order, The Charlatans), Boomslang comprised of eleven tracks that combined his signature guitar
playing with heavy psychedelic rhythms.
Never before on vinyl, Boomslang will be available for the first time on double black 180g vinyl and 2CD. The album has been fully remastered at Abbey Road and includes 7 rarities, chosen by Johnny as well as brand new art direction by his long-time collaborator Mat Bancroft.
