The "Smiths": The Early Years (Paperback) by Paul Slattery
This is a lavishly produced photo book of the band acclaimed by many as the most important UK act of the 80s. Photographer Paul Slattery was allowed unprecedented access to the Smiths during the crucial early period of their career and this book is a permanent record of an era when their remarkable music struck a lasting chord in a generation alienated by Thatcherism. Slattery could be found backstage, front of stage and anywhere in Manchester where the Smiths plied their trade. This first ever book of his work features many photos never seen before, in both colour and black & white.

Released: 19th August 2007, paperback
