Excerpt:

... less well known area is Morrissey's own creative inspiration and direction over the teasingly suggestive imagery that so distinguished The Smiths' record sleeves and.....not so well known....posters. One of the most brilliantly conceived visual 'themes' in Pop history, appropriately for Morrissey "they suggest much but admit nothing".

For 1987's single 'Sheila Take A Bow' the cover star was Andy Warhol's transvestite Factory 'Superstar' Candy Darling, in a shot from Warhol's 1971 'Women In Revolt'. Born James Lawrence Slattery, Candy was memorably immortalised in Lou Reed's 'Walk On The Wild Side'. One polemical exception was conceived for 1985's 'Meat Is Murder'. Morrissey took the famous image of the determinedly non-Aquarian young Vietnam 'grunt' (from Emile de Antonio's 1969 anti-war film 'In the Year of the Pig') whose helmet bore the words "Make War Not Love" and replaced them with a heartful message of his own.

He bought them off ebay (Score:0)

And I know this because he bought one of the posters off me for well under a quarter of what he is selling them for. He probably bought the other ones from theoneicanthave on ebay for cheap aswell.

Infact he did his ebay user name is lewvalton. Check his feedback - you can see what he paid for them.
