|
Review This was the first album which was recorded on a £20000 budget. Original producer Troy Tate was devatsed to learn that his efforts were not deemed worthy of release and the entire project was to be be handed over to John Porter. Buy This Album >

Hatful of Hollow Release Date: November 1984 Produced By: John Porter Music Label: Rough Trade Records Current issue: February 1995 (WEA) Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review This compilation contained many tracks from the first album, as well as B sides and takes from BBC radio sessions. The release of this album was partly due to fan pressure, and gave them the opportunity to hear The Smiths in their primitive glory. Buy This Album >

|
Meat is Murder Release Date: February 1985 Produced By: The Smiths Music Label: Rough Trade Records Current issue: February 1995 (WEA) Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review Some would suggest that this is the greatest of all The Smiths albums. The contents offers pop, rock, rockabilly, psychedelia, flashes of funk and even some heavy metal. This album was commercially very successful. Buy This Album >

|
The Queen is Dead Release Date: June 1986 Produced By: Morrissey/Marr Music Label: Rough Trade Records Current issue: February 1995 (WEA) Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review Prior to the release of this album The Smiths were going through some problematic times. So much so, that the release of The Queen is Dead was delayed by about 8 months. Nevertheless the album received great reviews and was a huge success. Buy This Album >

|
The World Won't Listen Release Date: March 1987 Produced By: Various Music Label: Rough Trade Records Current issue: February 1995 (WEA) Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review Much like Hatful of Hollow, this album contained many B sides and takes from radio sessions. This album appealed more to the causal listener probably beacuse of its affordable price. Buy This Album > 
|
|
Louder Than Bombs Release Date: April 1987 Produced By: Various Music Label: Rough Trade Records Current issue: February 1995 (WEA) Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review This compilation was released only one month after the release of The World Wont Listen. It contained 24 tracks, 20 of which had appeared on previous albums. Great value again for the casual listener, but daylight robbery for the hard core fan. Buy This Album > 
|
|
Strangeways Release Date: September 1987 Produced By: Stephen Street Music Label: Rough Trade Records Current issue: February 1995 (WEA) Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review This was to be The Smiths last album before the split in 1987. Although not recognised as the best Smiths album, Strangeways Here We Come did show that the band was in transition. But what this could have led to we will never know. Buy This Album > 
|
|
Rank Release Date: September 1988 Produced By: Pete Dauncey Music Label: Rough Trade Records Current issue: February 1995 (WEA) Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review Rank was released one year after Strangeways, and it appears that it is simply the mandatory Live album. This one is only for the die hards. Buy This Album > 
|
|
Best I Release Date: September 1992 Produced By: Various Music Label: Warner Music Current issue: Same Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review Now that WEA had acquired The Smiths catalogue, this was hardly a surprising release. But what was surprising was its commercial success. This album reached No.1 in the UK charts, so what next ? Buy This Album > 
|
|
Best II Release Date: November 1992 Produced By: Various Music Label: Warner Music Current issue: Same Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review Best II would seem to taking things a little too far, but nevertheless this inevitable release had some success, but not enough for a Best III. Thank God ! Buy This Album > 
|
|
Singles Release Date: May 1995 Produced By: Various Music Label: Warner Music Current issue: Same Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review This album, somewhat surprisingly, was a popular release, even though it contained nothing new and made Best I & II redundant. It was considered a 'neccessary addition to the Smiths catalogue'. Buy This Album > 
|
|
The Very Best Of Release Date: Sept 2001 Produced By: Various Music Label: Warner Music Current issue: Same Click on album sleeve for more... |
|
Review I'm speechless! Buy This Album >
