Released February 20, 1984. The Smiths Tracklist. 1. Reel Around the Fountain Lyrics.

The Smiths is the debut, eponymous album by The Smiths. It reached the second position in the UK Albums Chart, and remained in the position for 33 weeks. After signing with independent record label Rough Trade, the Smiths began preparations to record their first album in mid 1983. The band selected Troy Tate (former guitarist of The Teardrop Explodes) as producer for sessions at Elephant Studios in Wapping, based on Geoff Travis' recommendation.

Even Mozza's career has waned into boozy middle age. by contrast, their music together has transcended generations. The Smiths are true icons.

The Smiths is the debut studio album by English rock band the Smiths, recorded in 1983 and released on 20 February 1984 by record label Rough Trade. After the original production by Troy Tate was felt to be inadequate, John Porter re-recorded the album in London, Manchester and Stockport 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 Albums Chart 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.

Album · 1984 · 11 Songs. Even in an era of radical post-punk, The Smiths is an utterly unique debut. From the woozy charms of Reel Around the Fountain, Morrissey’s fragile croon commences its love affair with Johnny Marr’s twinkling guitar. The band brings fire to You’ve Got Everything Now and This Charming Man, a Motown dance beat embroidered with slippery guitar. Gentle in its rage, Suffer Little Children takes on child abuse as no other band could, while the group’s singular allure glows within the dreamy licks of I Don’t Owe You Anything. The Smiths The Smiths.

On the surface, the Smiths' sound wasn't radically different from traditional British guitar pop - Johnny Marr's ringing, layered guitars were catchy and melodic - but it was actually an astonishing subversion of the form, turning the structure inside out. Very few of the songs followed conventional verse-chorus structure, yet they were quite melodic within their own right.
