The Smiths and Beyond By Kevin Cummins
When The Smiths emerged from Manchester in 1983, Kevin Cummins was ideally placed to record the group's progress. As The Smiths turned into one of the great British bands of the '80s, bringing poetry, miserablism, celibacy chic and gladioli waving to a grey post-punk music scene, it was entirely natural that Cummins would become one of their most intimate and astute visual chroniclers. Cummins did their publicity stills, shot countless features for the NME and other magazines, tracked their gigs and travelled the world with Morrissey, Marr, Rourke and Joyce. The arch conceptualiser in Cummins and the self-mythologiser in Morrissey were a fecund combination, producing photos, which transcend their status as memorabilia. The Smiths and Beyond by Cummins may not be the last word on the band, but it's certainly the last transparency.

chelsea smiler, via Morrissey-Solo
Free with the latest edition of Dazed and Confused is a booklet from their publishers, Vision On, detailing the forthcoming publications. Kevin Cummins is listed as publishing "The Smiths and Beyond" on 7th March 2002. It says "The arch conceptualiser in Cummins and the self-mythologiser in Morrissey was a fecund combination, producing photos which transcend their status as memorabilia. The Smiths and Beyond by Cummins may not be the last word on the band, but it's certainly the last transparency." Hyperbole aside it seems that we'll get 96 pages of colour and black and white photos for £12.99 or $18.95 - the piece is accompanied by a nice photo which says Dublin Stadium, 27th April 1981 although clearly its from the Kill Uncle tour in 1991 - hopefully by March they'll have proof-read the captions.
