Product Details
Compiled for the American market at a moment when The Smiths were simultaneously breaking through stateside and on the verge of collapse, *Louder Than Bombs* functions as both an introduction and an elegy, gathering some of Morrissey and Marr's sharpest work from outside their four studio albums. Johnny Marr's guitar invention across these tracks remains a clinic in melodic economy, and the sequencing rewards repeated listening in a way that outlasts most proper LPs.
Original Sire/Rough Trade version of the 1987 compilation featuring singles, b-sides & Peel sessions including the classics "Panic," "Ask," "Sweet & Tender Hooligan" & more.
