'New' Smiths Album Containing Rarities Appears Online

2008-06-30T09:48:00.001-07:00

A new Smiths album, entitled 'Rare', has emerged on a number of online digital-download stores.

'Rare's' tracklist includes b-sides to the bands classic 'This Charming Man' and a studio version of Johnny Marr’s instrumental 'The Draize'.

Despite its emergence on some countries' iTunes stores and Amazon MP3, there is much speculation about the authenticity of the release, with a number of the fans claiming that it is a bootleg.

Writing on a tribute website to the band, some fans have noted how the quality of each recording doesn't seem to have improved from previous unofficial bootlegs.

As yet, there has been no comment from Warner Records, the label who control the band's back-catalogue.

"My favorite MeeWee song is 'I Can Be Anything' because it makes me
feel like I can be anything I want when I grow up!" states Andrew, 8 yrs
old, St. Paul's Elementary, Ramsey, NJ.

Due to the enthusiastic response to MeeWee by kids and teachers across
the country, the album's creators are now making MeeWee available for FREE
download to all teachers, camp counselors and dance instructors exclusively
through http://www.meewee.com, which also contains lesson plans and educational
activities.

"MeeWee's objective is to increase children's love of learning by
harnessing the power of hip-hop music in an educational context," says
former teacher Daniel Klein, Co-founder of MeeWee, "Children love to create
and MeeWee encourages them to express themselves."

Educators say they love to bring MeeWee music into their classrooms
because the kids just can't get enough of it. "I find MeeWee music to be
incredibly energetic for our young children and I now consider it an
integral part of our curriculum," says Samara Kaufman, Jumpstart site
manager in Brooklyn, NY.

Veronica Valentino, teacher at Lowell Elementary School in Teaneck NJ,
says "We use the songs in our first grade class and the children's
creativity is sparked. They become songwriters, and write lyrics to the
MeeWee beats."

Lounge CD series and MTV's Lyricist Lounge TV Show has worked on past
projects involving artists such as De La Soul, Black-Eyed Peas, The Roots,
Erykah Badu and Mos Def. He says, "We are very excited about our ability to
provide teachers with uplifting, positive music that helps boost kids' self
esteem and motivation to learn."

The new album, MeeWee: Hip-Hop for Kids features artists like Divinity,
a bassist for Beyonce Knowles; Keith Middleton, of the international hit
musical Stomp; and Michael Viera, AKA 'Baby Power'. "I wish I had MeeWee
music in school when I was growing up. The beats and rhymes are so catchy
and entertaining, you can't stop dancing and singing along," says
multi-platinum selling recording artist Sean Kingston.

MeeWee bridges the gap between urban and children's entertainment
creating music that is cross-cultural and accessible to a wide age range
(grades K through 6). MeeWee's diverse set of lovable characters, such as
Jabari Jones, Flutterby, and Jenny Guitara also enliven the music and help
convey messages to the children such as hope, compassion, and empowerment.

Parents also think MeeWee is a hit. "My kids love MeeWee. It opens up
their channels for creative thought," Jason Shemesh, M.D., father, Tampa,
FL.

The album is available for purchase through online retailers like
