Early Smiths release, containing material recorded for several BBC radio sessions as well as other stuff. (If we had a John Peel type on the US government's payroll, I'd be willing to live with a despot or two.) While this isn't necessarily an album but more of a compilation, it still feels like an album. Hatful of Hollow consists of some of the best songs The Smiths made. Every. Song. Is. Good. Especially 'How Soon Is Now?' What Difference Does It Make?" has heavier and more natural-sounding guitars than the version on The Smiths. It is also in a higher key than the version on The Smiths.

See Terms of Use for details.This Charming Man" has softer and more upbeat vocals, guitars and even drums than the version released as a single and on some versions of The Smiths. The bass line is louder and altered slightly. Additionally, there is no solo guitar introduction. The Smiths, to me, were one of the bands that it was okay to like if you were 'alternative', but didn't possess many of the harsh characterstics of many other punk-inspired bands. The Smiths were a pop band, through and through. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. This sounds great for an LP that has 56 minutes of material on it - that's hard to do. Could it sound better on 2 discs instead of 1? Sure, but is it necessary? Not in my opinion.

Hatful of Hollow also features the band's debut single, " Hand in Glove", and their two most recent singles prior to the album's release, " Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" and " William, It Was Really Nothing", along with their respective B-sides, "Girl Afraid", " How Soon Is Now?" and " Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want". Hatful of Hollow reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart, remaining on the chart for 46 weeks. [12] In 2000, Q magazine placed the album at No. 44 on its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever".When first broadcast, these radio sessions mainly featured songs which were otherwise unavailable. All were subsequently re-recorded for singles or for the band's debut album the following year. "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" was recorded in the studio in June 1984, but the only version ever released was the September Peel session. I only own _Hatful of Hollow_ and _Singles_ by the Smiths, but that's enough to know that they are one of the best bands of the 80s. melancholic, LGBT, male vocalist, melodic, lonely, introspective, bittersweet, romantic, sentimental, poetic, existential, passionate, sarcastic, quirky, energetic, longing, depressive, alienation, love, sad, atmospheric

My only gripe is that the disc came in a paper sleeve, which meant it was scuffed and a bit dirty. A dry brush helped though and there are no audible or other defects. In addition, the original single version of "Hand in Glove" is included, not the remixed version that appears on The Smiths. It features a fade- intro and fade-out, louder bass, and vocals that sound very distant. You've Got Everything Now" is slower than the version on The Smiths and does not have any keyboard part. The bass line is also altered slightly. Attempting to do this album justice is simply not possible. Every song on the album is a flawless testament to the genius of one of the oddest pairs in pop music history. Morrissey and Marr bounced off each other in a way they have never been able to match since. Listen to Hatful of Hollow and you will hear two of the best minds in pop music at work.

The radio session versions of songs are different from other studio recordings. Some of the major differences are: Morrissey sounds gayer here than he does on their later stuff, for what it's worth (not a number of stars up or down, certainly).
