THE SMITHS / MEAT IS MURDER
1985 SIRE 1st USA PRESS
••••• A MILESTONE OF THE 80's BRITISH ALTERNATIVE ROCK MOVEMENT. FThe jangling guitars of Johnny Marr and emotive crooning of Morrissey would propel the world into a new era of fandom and fawning, embracing "The Headmaster Ritual" and "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" as alternative pop hits while "How Soon Is Now" would become iconic 80's material. ESSENTIAL 80's ROCK.
