Product description

The Smiths' self-titled debut album, released on 20 February 1984, marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, introducing them as a defining force in 1980s British music. After initially working with producer Troy Tate, the band re-recorded the album with John Porter in London, Manchester, and Stockport during breaks in their UK tour. The result is a masterful blend of jangly guitars, poetic lyrics, and Morrissey's distinctive vocals.

The album features standout tracks like "What Difference Does It Make?" and "Hand in Glove," showcasing the band's unique sound, which would go on to influence a generation of musicians. The Smiths' debut album peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, staying there for 33 weeks, and gained international success, cementing their status as one of the most iconic bands of the era.

With a duration of 45 minutes, the album takes the listener on a journey through 11 tracks, including "Reel Around the Fountain," "You've Got Everything Now," and "Suffer Little Children." The Smiths' genre-bending sound, which combines elements of new wave, Madchester, and jangle pop, is perfectly captured on this debut album. Released on the WM UK label, The Smiths' self-titled debut is a must-listen for fans of the band and anyone interested in the history of British music.

This is a 2012 Reissue released as a LP.

  • Appearance lacks charm

    Nice appearance, but it lacks that charming guy. Trash.

  • Crackling First Side

    5 out of 5 stars
    Tj_N_January 3, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Got this copy recently, but the first side crackles like a bowl of Rice Crispies at breakfast. The second side, though, is crystal clear and sounds amazing. Maybe it needs a good clean - any tips on how to deep clean records, please?

  • Vinyl Bliss: Timeless Classic

    5 out of 5 stars
    duazgeveDecember 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    this vinyl record is AMAZING! I've played this album a gazillion times on cassette when it first dropped and on digital, but listening to it on vinyl is like experiencing it for the very first time. It's so crisp and peaceful. 100 stars, no doubt!

  • Single Dip Labels

    5 out of 5 stars

    My copy is the same as this one, except it's got single dip labels.

  • Superior Japanese Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    Cogozu-UNWNovember 28, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible pressing and packaging! Super quiet, with a punchy, dynamic sound. The instrument separation is spot on. The insert with the Japanese and English lyrics, plus the Japanese interview and band photos, is absolutely stunning. I was so lucky to find a mint condition copy in a store a few months ago. My 1984 US pressing sounds fantastic, but this one is definitely superior.

About The Smiths

The Smiths, formed in Manchester in 1982, are an iconic English rock band that left an indelible mark on the music scene despite their brief five-year existence. Comprised of Morrissey on vocals, Johnny Marr on guitar, Andy Rourke on bass, and Mike Joyce on drums, the band's unique sound and poetic lyrics quickly garnered a devoted following. Morrissey and Marr's songwriting partnership was the heart of The Smiths, blending new wave, madchester, and jangle pop influences to create a distinctive and timeless sound. Their debut album, released in 1984, set the stage for a series of critically acclaimed records, including "Meat Is Murder" (1985) and "The Queen Is Dead" (1986). The Smiths' music, characterized by its melancholic yet uplifting tones, continues to resonate with fans worldwide, making them one of the most influential and beloved bands of the 1980s.
