This is their second album from 1985. I had all four of their albums plus a compilation album and their live album, sold them all but one in 2013. The original U.S. release I bought in 1985 had the single &#8220;How Soon Is Now&#8221; added to it, one of their best songs. This 2011 reissue is the U.K. version that doesn&#8217;t have it. Led by singer Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr with Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce providing the rhythm,they played a basic guitar,bass and drums music without the synthesizers so prevalent in the 80&#8217;s,with Morrissey&#8217;s often depressing lyrics. Many great songs on this record. &#8220;The Headmaster Ritual&#8221; starts off side one followed by four more tracks . The four on side two are also very good &#8220;Nowhere Fast&#8221;,&#8221;Well I Wonder&#8221;, the Funky &#8220;Barbarism Begins At Home&#8221;, and ending with the title track, a Vegan anthem of sorts, with cows mooing at the start and end of the song. My favorite of the four they released. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great band from Manchester England. This is their second album from 1985.
