Artwork information:
Jean Marais from Cocteau's classic 1949 film "Orphée". The back artwork (view left) shows Marais' arm.
An essential Smiths release, if only for "Wonderful Woman," which somehow got left off of the compilations. Both version of "This Charming Man" are excellent in their own way, and "Accept Yourself" is solid as well.
"I thought 'This Charming Man' the most obviously instantaneous release imaginable." - - Morrissey, The Face, 1984
"Of all our singles I think I like 'This Charming Man' best, just because the rhythms are so infectious. Smith music really moves me."
- Andy Rourke, Record Mirror, 8 September 1984
