Published in 1984, this was The Smiths first album release. Produced by John Porter this album
provides classics such as "This Charming Man" and "Still Ill." Their first release was "Reel Around The Fountain," first heard nationally, courtesy to a John Peel session on BBC Radio 1.
The song "Suffer Little Children" (based on the
Crimes of Mara Hindley and the grief felt by the
victims' parents) caused much controversy, mainly
Because critics were perhaps afraid of the gritty
reality that was being portrayed. However, the song can be argued to be a metaphor for "Lest We
Forget."
