This sounds great for an LP that has 56 minutes of material on it - that's hard to do. Could it sound better on 2 discs instead of 1? Sure, but is it necessary? Not in my opinion.

This Charming Man" has softer and more upbeat vocals, guitars and even drums than the version released as a single and on some versions of The Smiths. The bass line is louder and altered slightly. Additionally, there is no solo guitar introduction. In addition, the original single version of "Hand in Glove" is included, not the remixed version that appears on The Smiths. It features a fade- intro and fade-out, louder bass, and vocals that sound very distant. Beyond that, infant euthanasia, unemployment, employment, rejection and apathy are among the manifold miseries on offer, shot through with a waster's humour (usually) and an implicit, muscular, ambiguous sexuality that scared the shit out of millions. "Reel around the fountain," forever trying to catch up with itself like a record played off-speed, may be the best thing they ever recorded, and the epitome of Morrissey's interrupted fantasies. Cavanagh, D, 1993. Irreproachable: The Smiths: the very best of British?. Q Magazine, 1 December 1993.On “Girl Afraid”, for example, Stevie perfectly retells the feeling of awkwardness, desperateness, and timidity that flail about in the teenage mind during a seemingly innocuous encounter in a basement, of all places. He also has a supreme talent of hitting on both the male and female perspectives, especially in said song. Stevie’s sexual ambiguousness, both in his media personality and in his lyrics, allowed the listener to mould the song to their own liking and interpret it however they saw fit. Some saw “Reel Around the Fountain” as nothing more than an harmless love song, others saw it as a bestial telling of paedophilia. Some listeners interpreted “These Things Take Time” as an innocent retelling of a friendly drunken afternoon – others interpreted as a ghastly abomination detailing unrequited homosexual love.

THE IMPOTENCE OF ERNEST" is etched into the runout groove of side A. As well as being a pun on Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, it is an allusion to the impotence that Ernest Hemingway suffered in his final years. "Ian (EIRE)", etched on side B, refers to Marr's younger brother.

Me gusta muchooo como suena pero en la mayoría de temas siento que le falta peso(el bajo suena muy delgado) sin embargo los temas “acústicos” suenan realmente hermosos, otro detalle sería que aveces siento que la voz suena muy bajita pero en general me gusta mucho.

Still Ill" opens and closes with a harmonica solo, and sounds less hollow and slightly slower than the version on The Smiths.

Morrissey has some majestic voice and that's one of the main reasons I love The Smiths. The music is so meticulously crafted around Morrissey's voice. This has some of The Smiths best music ever and although Morrissey is a piece of shit this music is so good. Hatful of Hollow reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart, remaining on the chart for 46 weeks. [12] In 2000, Q magazine placed the album at No. 44 on its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever". The current sleeve for Hatful of Hollow is the CD issue sleeve, featuring a cropped photograph of the otherwise unknown Fabrice Colette taken by Gilles Decroix. The original sleeve, pictured above, included a tattoo of a Jean Cocteau drawing on Colette's left shoulder, which Colette commissioned in June 1983 because he idolised Cocteau. The photograph is taken from a July 1983 special edition of the French newspaper Libération. [13] Additionally, the old cover had a large sky-blue frame with the legends "The Smiths" and "Hatful of Hollow" above and underneath the picture. Editions after 1987 feature the cropped version with the text superimposed, although the 2011 vinyl re-issue reinstated the original sleeve. Power, Tony (October 2004).
