Item details

I’ve touched on The Smiths’ literary allusions before in my Oscar Wilde print (also available in this shop), but recently I’ve been listening to them a lot again (long-time fan, you see) and wondering how I could make a decent print equivalent of their well-read, bleakly nostalgic pop.

Surveying a pile of recent vintage Penguin Book purchases, the idea suddenly struck me - what if Morrissey and Johnny Marr had been full-time novelists, and instead of releasing albums they wrote a series of connected novels? ‘Consider x as a form of y’ is one of my favourite mental exercises (and was done so well by Alfred Jarry and JG Ballard, amongst others), so I set to work.

The result is a set of four prints, one for each of the four main studio albums The Smiths released from 1984-7. This print covers their eponymous debut LP.
