Description

The Smiths is the debut studio album The Smiths, recorded in 1983 and released on 20 February 1984 by record label Rough Trade in the UK. After the original production by Troy Tate was felt to be inadequate, John Porter re-recorded the album in London during breaks in the band's UK tour during September 1983.

The album was well received by the critics as well as the public; it reached number two on the UK album charts and stayed on the chart for 33 weeks. It established the Smiths as a prominent band in the 1980s music scene in the United Kingdom.

This is a copy of the original 1984 US release on sire. The record is shiny and clean with several light hairline scratches. The sleeve has a small hole punched on the front top right corner, light ring and edge wear and a light crease at the bottom right hand corner of the back sleeve (see photos). The original inner sleeve is not present. Grading is visual only.
