The Smiths

Released 1984Punk & New Wave
Classic

A jangly, literate debut that announced a singular partnership. Sharp and beloved. A British landmark. Released in 1984, it's an early landmark for The Smiths.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
