Hatful Of Hollow

Product Information

I even prefer it over Johnny Marr’s 2012 remastering, which bloats the low end and bizarrely veils his own guitar work, losing the sparkle that is on the UK original. His intricate and incredibly complex guitar on songs like "This Charming Man" and "William" never leave me. It's an infectious blend that soars through your eardrums and ensures a permanent place in your head canon. On the whole definitely leaves something to be desired - can't help wondering if the Sire pressing the year before sounds better. Because it makes fun of us, mere mortals captivated by superficial things like love, money, and fame.

In November 1984, the veteran Manchester rock band The Smiths released their first compilation album, “Hatful of Hollow”.Picture cover showing a tattoo of a Cocteau drawing on his left shoulder, chosen by Morrissey because he idolised Cocteau. Earlier that year the band had great success with their self-titled album which reached number two on the UK Albums chart and solidified The Smiths as one of the country's preeminent rock bands.

It was eventually released in the United States on 9 November 1993 by Sire Records, who had initially declined to release the album in the US. You've Got Everything Now" is slower than the version on The Smiths and does not have any keyboard part.More harmonica begins the song, which utilizes a fast tempo full of energetic instrumentation, and yet Marr's guitar lines are soothing and calming. Hand In Glove’ and even ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’, you could argue that all of The Smiths’ most important early songs comprise the album. In addition, the original single version of "Hand in Glove" is included, not the remixed version that appears on The Smiths.
