To my ears there is a gem of a rock album tucked between the smiths final two releases. The singles released between the recordings of “The Queen is Dead” and “Strangeways” have their own sound and when played together, sounds as if it’s the closest approximation of what a Smiths “rock” album would sound like, with higher tempos and chunkier guitars.
Songs would include:
Sweet and tender hooligans
London
Sheila take a bow
Shoplifters of the world
Panic
Ask
Is it really so strange
You just haven’t earned it yet baby
Half a person (not really rock but a brilliant song written in this period worthy of inclusion)
Is there anything else you would add? This list is basically cutting out some of the fat and songs previously released from “Louder than bombs.”
