I'm seeking radio interviews and documentaries with/about The Smiths. I know that a couple of them were released on bootleg cd's but I could not found out where to purchase.
Every help would be much appreciated... Really like the interviews MOZ gives today and would love to hear what they said when they were THE SMITHS...
Saw that a few of them were mentioned here in the forum already but when offered for download the links doesn't work anymore...
