Have never seen this pic of Johnny before...
One of the best JM interviews I have ever read. Worth a look.
Love this...
Atmosphere is how I always described it as well. There is a mood that Strangeways captures. It is my fave Smiths album precisely because of this.

Strangeways was always my favourite, because I think that it’s a brave record. There was an atmosphere that needed to be captured on that record, that I wanted to capture, and the way to do it is to leave some things open, and not to cram it with too much stuff, and I think that takes a certain sense of purpose, and bravery. So the production doesn’t have tons of overdubs, and the songs breathe a little bit, and it has a slightly unresolved atmosphere. There is space in it, and that was a conscious thing. I knew that the record was good at that time.
