  Arriving in an era dominated by synth pop and gloomy post-punk, the Smiths' eponymous debut was the bracing beginning of a new era. On the surface, the Smiths' sound wasn't radically different from traditional British guitar pop -- Johnny Marr's ringing, layered guitars were catchy and melodic -- but it was actually an astonishing subversion of the form, turning the structure inside out. Very few of the songs followed conventional verse-chorus structure, yet they were quite melodic within their own right. Marr's inventive songwriting was made all the more original and innovative by Morrissey's crooning and lyrics. Writing about unconventional topics, from homosexuality ("Hand in Glove") to child molestation and murder, Morrissey had a distinctively ironic, witty, and literate viewpoint whose strangeness was accentuated by his off-kilter voice, which would move from a croon to a yelp in a matter of seconds. While the production of The Smiths is a little pristine, the songs are vital and alive, developing a new, unique voice within pop music. Though the Smiths continued to improve over the course of their career, their debut remains startling and exciting.

Any more info on this? pressing? ripper?
I can tell you it sounds good and is worth a download.
On second listen I don't know, it is decent but it did not wow me. An enjoyable listen, though.
It could use some cleanup, which I'm happy to do. After losing thousands of vinyls and a high quality sound system in a flood a few years ago, I'm appreciative of the high-res vinyl posts. Any time you can give additional info about pressings, ripper, equipment, etc., it would be appreciated. I'm one who liked to collect different pressings of an album just to compare the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) differences. Thanks again and keep 'em coming!
thanks for seeding guys and for the UL
Great band. Great album. Rip is adequate but still highly superior to the CD.
