The Smiths - The Smiths
The Smiths is the debut studio album by the English band The Smiths, released in February 1984. Produced by John Porter, it introduced the world to Morrissey’s sharp, literate, and melancholic lyrics paired with Johnny Marr’s jangly, intricate guitar work—an interplay that would define the group’s sound. The album blends post-punk energy with a pop sensibility, carrying themes of isolation, social alienation, sexual ambiguity, and working-class frustration. Songs like “Reel Around the Fountain” and “Suffer Little Children” stirred controversy for their provocative subject matter, while “Hand in Glove” and “What Difference Does It Make?” became early anthems of outsider identity.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
