The Smiths “Never Had No One Ever” vintage vinyl double LP

This rare live double album features the complete concert recorded at Brixton Academy Theatre in London on December 12, 1986—the final performance by The Smiths—along with highlights from their Paseo de Camoens gig in Madrid, Spain, on May 18, 1985.

Staying true to The Smiths' ethos, the Brixton Academy show was a benefit for Artists Against Apartheid. Originally planned for the Royal Albert Hall on November 14, 1986, the event had to be rescheduled following Johnny Marr's near-fatal car accident, in which his BMW 5 Series was totaled.

The front cover features a photo of Morrissey and Johnny Marr outside the then-named Manchester Central Station in Manchester, England, taken by Paul Slattery in 1983. The back cover shows the iconic image of The Smiths on a sidewalk in Montmartre, Paris, France, also captured by Paul Slattery in December 1984.

This album is a treasure for fans, as it contains the first and only live performance of the beautiful Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others from the masterpiece album The Queen Is Dead. Played to perfection by the band, this version includes an extra verse not found on the studio recording. The album also features the live debut of Shoplifters Of The World Unite and lots of in between songs banter from Morrissey.

This is a hard-to-find record for serious fans and completists of The Smiths and Morrissey. See full tracklist and other details below.
