Smiths: The Queen Is Dead LP

Arguably the Smiths' masterpiece, 1986's The Queen Is Dead features the elegance, craftsmanship and humor which has led the band to musical eminence. Johnny Marr's dense web of guitars create a rich musical foundation here for some of Morrissey's most affecting set of lyrics. The wistful "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" and the epic "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" are two of the crowning achievements in the band's oeuvre and they provide the ideal cornerstone for what is a remarkable overall album. 180g vinyl LP.
