Johnny’s interview with Pitchfork talking about the songs and albums that made an impact on him throughout his life, five years at a time.

When the Smiths broke up in the summer of 1987– after having produced five full-lengths and a host of singles– Johnny Marr was only 24; Morrissey had recently turned 28. That they had accomplished so much in so little time was a testament to both their deep well of creativity and the fact that they were both committed students of pop history. They knew exactly what kind of music they wanted to make and they made it, quickly and brilliantly. And then they called it quits. The Smiths have never really gone away but they’ve returned to the musical conversation in a big way since the release of The Smiths Complete, the box set from last year that saw their proper albums and assorted singles collections returning in remastered form (the new transfers were overseen by Marr). Originally available only in the box, the remasters have now been issued individually.

So what do you do when you finish your tenure with one of the greatest bands in pop history and you’re only 24 years old?

It was more of a restoration rather than remastering, as such,” Marr tells Rolling Stone, explaining that he didn’t add anything that didn’t already exist  – he just brought it all out. “I knew there was a lot of music hiding in there,” says Marr. All eight remastered Smiths CDs have just been released by Rhino Records, including the first U.S. CD release of the band’s 1987 U.K. compilation, The World Won’t Listen.

“I haven’t talked about the Smiths today yet,” says Johnny Marr upon answering our phone call to do just that, “which is unusual.” Such is life when you played guitar and wrote songs for one of the most iconic bands of the last 30 years. Since parting ways with frontman Morrissey, drummer Mike Joyce, and bassist Andy Rourke in 1987, Marr has resisted riding on his reputation, lending his distinctive silvery guitar sound to a murderer’s row of musicians that includes The The, Modest Mouse, the Cribs, and others as well as his work with his band the Healers.
