The Smiths debut LP turns 35 years old


The Smiths debut self-titled album turns 35 years old this week. The album, released February 20th, 1984, was a brilliant debut and remains one of the band's most cherished albums. From the opening drumbeat of "Reel Around The Fountain" to the fading intense jangle of "Suffer Little Children" the album is an incredible work of art; Morrissey and Johnny Marr songwriting is replete with splendorous intensity, everlasting divinity, and darkly beautiful sadness. An extraordinary album from a most exceptional and timeless band.
