i-Pod listening in the garden this PM.
Eponymous debut from some of Manchester's finest, released in 1984.
A truly original, and great band. Some of their records were slightly patchy, but this one certainly isn't. Excellently played, sung, & written.
This must stand as one of the great debuts.
I love The Smiths, but always find they're better than I expect (if that makes any sense ?!).
Great album.
AllMusic 5/5 stars.
