I loved the look of that jacket, spent ages looking for it or something similar to no avail.

I’ve always found live Fall albums a bit of a mixed bag.

So many good tracks, β€˜Paranoia Man…’ is one of their best.

It appears no one at Warners cares about The Smiths catalogue. All we got for the anniversary of β€˜Hatful…’ and the debut was an email πŸ™„
There must be a large market for any Smiths product, it just feels they’re missing an opportunity.

The Portobello Hotel, W11. This is where Johnny Marr lived for a time in 1986. It was also where, in April 1987, Johnny, Tamra Davis (Video Director) and Ken Friedman (manager) got 'absolutely hammered' after the 'Sheila Take a Bow' video shoot was abandoned. #TheSmiths
