A defining compilation in The Smiths’ catalogue, Hatful Of Hollow brings together BBC session recordings, early singles and alternative versions that capture the band at their most urgent and emotionally sharp. Originally released in 1984, the collection highlights the raw chemistry between Morrissey and Johnny Marr, pairing jangling guitar lines with some of the band’s most enduring early songs. This 2012 Rhino reissue is pressed on 180‑gram high‑fidelity black vinyl, housed in a sturdy cardboard sleeve and presented in pristine condition. Essential listening for fans of indie, jangle pop, post‑punk and 1980s alternative music.
