Hatful Of Hollow

The Smiths/Hatful of Hollow (Rough Trade 1984) 这16首歌曲包含了“另类 / 独立”音乐的所有美学要素：低技术的制作(很少甚至不用叠录)以及贯穿着年轻人的恐惧，希望与梦想的诚挚急切的作品。在英国The Smiths 热潮的主峰时期推出的这张《Hatful of Hollow》实际是BBC电台节目的选粹，包括在这之前The Smiths 的推出的单曲以至附带歌曲，这些新鲜简洁的早期录音呈现了The Smiths 宽广的视角与丰富的想像力。 虽然Morrissey哀怨的歌声吸引了大多数的注意力，但吉他手John Marr富有新意的歌曲结构与绝妙的降半高匹克吉他技巧也是这乡长专辑的精华歌在；虽然每一首歌都堪称佳作，但“Please，Please，Please Let Me Get What I Want”和“How Soon Is Now”更是佳作中的佳作。 此专辑还被美国《Guitar School》杂志评为有史以来20张最佳另类音乐专辑。 Hatful of Hollow is a compilation album by the English rock band The Smiths, featuring BBC Radio 1 studio recordings and two contemporary singles with their B-sides. It was released on 12 November 1984 by the band's British record company, Rough Trade, just months after the band's debut, The Smiths. The album reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart and stayed on the chart for 46 weeks.[3] Eventually, on 9 November 1993, it was also released by their American label, Sire Records, which had initially declined to release the album. Sire instead released Louder Than Bombs in the US in 1987, which contains several of the same tracks as on Hatful of Hollow, as well as The World Won't Listen. In 2000, Q magazine placed Hatful of Hollow at number 44 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
