Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of the 1985 album from the legendary British quartet, The Smiths. With their second proper album, "Meat Is Murder," The Smiths began to branch out and diversify while refining the jangling guitar pop of their debut. "The Headmaster Ritual" and "I Want the One I Can't Have" are fine elaborations of the formula laid out on the debut, while "Rusholme Ruffians" is an infectious stab at Rockabilly. At this point, they were seen as the most important British band since Joy Division due to their creative thrust. Above all, in 1985, there was no other British group making music quite like The Smiths.
