Smiths - Sound Of The Smiths - Music CD

2008 digitally remastered collection from the influential Manchester outfit led by vocalist Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr. The Smiths formed in Manchester in 1982 and quickly rose to become the quintessential British indie rock band of their day. Powered by the collaboration between lead singer and lyricist Morrissey and lead guitarist and co-songwriter Johnny Marr, their sound had a literary and musical depth that was complex, emotional and often controversial, at the same time, it rang with The Smiths' unique twist on timeless melodic pop sensibilities. Their rise also marked a break from the synth-heavy pop and post-punk that had been defining U.K. music.23 tracks including 'Hand in Glove', 'Girlfriend in a Coma', 'This Charming Man', 'How Soon Is Now' and many others.
