| | The Smiths: album reviews and ratings |
 | | The LP is a collection of Radio 1 sessions The Smiths recorded for John Peel and David Jensen (forgive him, Lord), four sessions in all that, at the last count, have been transmitted 12 times, according to the rather nicely-written biog included here for the benefit of ignorant hacks. |
 | | I passionately hoped this was not to be their last breath, but nevertheless, in case you haven't guessed by now, 'Strangeways, Here We Come' is a masterpiece that surpasses even The Queen Is Dead in terms of poetic, pop, and emotional power. |
