Description
The Smiths – “That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" (1985) original U.K 12" RTT 186 (free shipping / no tariffs)
Recorded at Amazon Studios in Liverpool as part of the Meat Is Murder sessions, this was the only single released from the album in the U.K. on July 1, 1985. Being far too superior ever to be a mainstream hit, the single barely crept into the top 50 only managing to reach #49 on the U.K. charts. It was hampered by the fact that it was released five months after the album release.
The front cover features the cropped image of a child actor taken from the 1964 Soviet film, The Enchanted Desna. The back cover features the same image along with the lyrics of the song, but strangely does not list the other tracks which were all recorded live from the superb concert at the Oxford Apollo Theatre, England on March 18, 1985.
