The Smiths - Meat Is Murder (Vinyl LP)

Originally released in 1985, Meat Is Murder is The Smiths’ second studio album and a darker, more politically charged follow-up to their debut. Expanding on their jangling indie foundations, the band leaned into heavier themes and moodier arrangements, pairing Johnny Marr’s inventive guitar work with Morrissey’s increasingly outspoken and provocative lyricism.

Featuring standout tracks such as “The Headmaster Ritual”, “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore”, “Barbarism Begins at Home” and the uncompromising title track, the album blends melody with menace, humour with moral urgency. Meat Is Murder became the band’s only UK number-one album and remains a defining statement of their artistic confidence.

Pressed on standard black vinyl, this LP comes brand new and sealed, delivering warm analogue sound that suits the album’s dynamic contrasts and textured production. An essential addition for fans of indie and alternative rock.
