THE SMITHS The Smiths (UK/EU limited edition 10-track vinyl LP, their self-titled debut album originally released in 1984. The Smiths' self-titled debut marks one of the most influential openings in modern British music. Originally released in 1984, the album announced the arrival of a band that would define a generation. Arriving in an era dominated by synth-pop and post-punk gloom, The Smiths offered something altogether new - Johnny Marr's chiming, inventive guitarwork matched with Morrissey's literate, emotionally charged lyricism. The result is a collection of songs that still sound urgent, vital and unmistakably alive. Includes the single What Difference Does It Make? alongside enduring classics Reel Around The Fountain, Still Ill and Hand In Glove. Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl and housed in a picture sleeve faithfully replicating the original artwork designed by Morrissey, complete with illustrated lyric inner. Factory sealed. Recommended)
