This Charming Man


I was feeling rather maudlin, so I thought today's post would be appropriate. These Recordings are from '83, The Smiths' first, low budget attempt attempt at a full album, after the underground-level success of their one-off single recorded with Rough Trade, "Hand in Glove" (featuring the ever so heartwrenching lines: "Hand in glove, the sun shines out of our behind").



Produced by Troy Tate, these are versions very similar to those on the first released Smiths album, properly produced by John Porter, but still, these versions are rawer, more garageband practiceroom style.

- YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING NOW

- WONDERFUL WOMAN

- HANDSOME DEVIL

- PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVE

- WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
