Smiths ORIG OZ LP The queen is dead EX ’86 Rough Trade RTRANZ013 Morrissey
Original OZ LP released in 1986 on Rough Trade Records. Cat: RTRANZ013. Comes with printed inner bag, this is the version that has RTRANZ at bottom on lyric side but no bumber after it.Meat Is Murder may have been a holding pattern, but The Queen Is Dead is the Smiths' great leap forward, taking the band to new musical and lyrical heights. Opening with the storming title track, The Queen Is Dead is a harder-rocking record than anything the Smiths had attempted before, but that's only on a relative scale although the backbeat is more pronounced, the group certainly doesn't rock in a conventional sense. Instead, Johnny Marr has created a dense web of guitars, alternating from the minor-key rush of "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and the faux rockabilly of "Vicar in a Tutu" to the bouncy acoustic pop of "Cemetry Gates" and "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side," as well as the lovely melancholy of "I Know It's Over" and "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out."
Tracks : The queen is dead/ Frankly, Mr. Shanky/ I know it’s over/ Never had no one ever/ Cemetry gates/ Bigmouth strikes again/ The boy with the thorn in his side/ Vicar in a tutu/ There is a light that never goes out/ Some girls are bigger than others.
