Arriving in an era dominated by synth pop and gloomy post-punk, The Smith’s eponymous debut was the beginning of a new era. Johnny Marr’s inventive song writing and ringing guitars were catchy and melodic and were made all the more original by Morrissey’s vocal style and lyrics. Although The Smiths continued to improve over the course of their career, the songs here are vital and alive, making sure that their debut remains startling and exciting to this day.

the actual vinyl is nice and heavyweight
Arrived quickly - one of the corners of the sleeve was a little bent - not the end of the world but an important detail nonetheless. the actual vinyl is nice and heavyweight, well-cut and faithful to the original sound of the record.Although I enjoy The Smiths and this album in particular, there was one thing that I didn't notice - unlike the CD, the vinyl version doesn't have 'This Charming Man' on it. Obviously, this is in keeping with the original vinyl version but I thought for a remaster it was a bit of an oversight, considering it remains one of their most well-known songs from this period in the band's history.All being said, the album is an absolute gem. I needn't say anything about the brilliance of Johnny's guitar playing, the baritone croon of Morrisey's singing, the tight rhythm section, the lyrics, the artwork, the unique production, the great songwriting. Overall, very pleased with this purchase.
