The cover art for Louder Than Bombs, designed by Morrissey, features British playwright Shelagh Delaney of Salford, Greater Manchester. The photograph was originally published in the Saturday Evening Post after Delaney, at the age of 19, made her literary debut with the play A Taste of Honey. The play inspired many early lyrics written by Morrissey, and the song "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" (included here) is based on the plight of the play's heroine, Jo, an unwed mother.

The SMITHS - Louder Than Bombs (remastered) Vinyl at Juno

There is no such thing as a bad Smiths record, but for me, it is their compilations that speak loudly to me. The Smiths were one of the last bands to make the 45 rpm single separate from the album. Albums were important, but I suspect that The Smiths true aesthetic was the A-Side and the additional B-Side. "Louder Than Bombs" is a compilation of their singles, and none (as far as I know, and being a lazy sod, I'm not looking this up as I write this essay) ever made it on to an official Smiths album. My favorite songs of theirs tend to be the singles and b-sides. The Smiths were brilliant in releasing incredible B-Sides, which traditionally were throw-a-way songs, and not meant to have any attention attached to them. But, all of us vinyl lunatics know that is not necessarily true, and The Smiths had brilliant songs placed in the obscure position of being forgotten. Or not, because The Smiths has paid attention to these 7" little wonders by releasing "Louder Than Bombs," which for the consumer, is a bargain, due to the cost of purchasing 45 rpm imported singles.La idea entonces fue agrupar a todos los temas que no fueron publicados en USA pero que sí aparecían en los dos recopilatorios a anteriores lanzados en Europa. Not a word about the music itself yet. This does include timeless classics like "Is it really so strange?", "Hand in glove", "Sheila take a bow", "Panic", "Ask", "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" and "William it was really nothing". All excellent pop songs with great Johnny Marr guitar lines and melodies and great Morrissey lyrics. But again, all of it is also available on Singles which makes a much better compilation. When a compilation album doesn't do its job properly it doesn't matter that it's full of wonderful music. And that's exactly the case here.

Seriously, this album is filled to the max with 24 bsides that are all fantastic. That being said, here are some random thoughts of mine about the Smiths...

Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term.For my money, The Smiths are the greatest singles band ever. So, the fact that this is a collection of previously released songs (and b-sides at that) and not a proper album means very little to me. The important thing is that these are really strong songs and there's a lot of them. Sire released Louder Than Bombs as a cassette and double-vinyl set on 31 March 1987 (a CD edition would follow in May). It was reviewed with gusto by the US music press (Spin magazine wrote, “This well-sequenced double album collection of new recordings and single sides previously unavailable on a US LP is the ultimate Smiths statement as it compiles most of their peak moments”), whose endorsements helped the album earn a gold certification. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Overall a good compilation, and seeing the light about these seminal artists some more. Generally the statement “one of the best single bands of the 80’s” is very true. Some of these songs should have really been on their main albums, others not as much. See, this is one of my main gripes with The Smiths. The majority of their slow songs just do not cut it for me at all. It’s not like I hate them or anything, but they’re something I would never seek out. The fact that the last two sides mostly have this is brutal and ruins my enjoyment a lot.
