Released in 2003, 'Boomslang' was Johnny Marr’s first solo studio album. After his departure from The Smith 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.
“Twenty years on I’m pleased we created the music and this new release of 'Boomslang' has given me the opportunity to revisit it and present some songs that we weren’t able to include the first time around.”
Never before on vinyl, 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
