Smiths, The – Meat Is Murder – Vinyl Record

Description

The Smiths’ Meat Is Murder is the second studio album from the English rock band, released on 11 February 1985 by Rough Trade Records. This vinyl record captures a pivotal moment in 80s indie, anchored by the urgent heaviness of tracks like The Headmaster Ritual, I Want the One I Can’t Have, and Barbarism Begins at Home. The album became the band’s only UK Albums Chart number one, and it remained on the chart for thirteen weeks, with notable international traction including 11 weeks on the European Top 100 Albums chart (peaking at 29) and a US presence on the Billboard 200.

This vinyl record edition presents Meat Is Murder in a classic LP format, ideal for collectors who prize crisp guitar textures, stark lyrical storytelling, and the unmistakable clang of mid-80s English indie. Perfect for fans exploring the bands most socially charged work, it serves as a cornerstone for any serious vinyl collection. Whether youre revisiting for nostalgia or introducing new listeners to the era, this release delivers the emotional bite and timeless allure that define the Smiths.
