...my favourite Smiths sleeve has to be Billie Whitelaw on the cover of the reissue of "William It Was Really Nothing". Can't take my eyes off that picture.

I think Pat Phoenix is not female.

The picture of Viv says it all!

-Quinn

Headmaster Ritual, Heaven Knows im Miserable Now, and Barbarism Begins at Home...surely enough Morrissey loved her well enough to place her on three singles.

Is the most iconic image, but Avril the funniest!

cover , the beautifull

Pat Phoenix

I know...but it's still the best...followed by that little dude on the horse

she's the prettiest so she gets my vote..

Pinkie x

Seems, to me, to be Alexandra Bastedo!

Truly,
Ken

who are the others? I can't think of anyone else besides the people listed above..

There's something about the Smiths and strong women that that fuses so well. Morrissey should start using them on his artwork again. I'm surprised he never used Victoria Wood as he's a big fan and Rusholme Ruffians was heavily influenced by one of her songs (I forget which one). Perhaps she would have been too obvious - but then he has used Shelagh Delaney and This Night was almost A Taste Of Honey to music. Thank heavens he never used Sandie Shaw because that would have been a millstone round his neck now that she's become oh so complacent towards him. Candy Darling, who was a discovery of Warhol was probably used as a throwback to the Smiths first LP which featured an image from 'Flesh' by Warhol. I like the image of Viv Nicholson on Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now. I like the angle it's taken at and the way she is captured full-frame. She belongs inside the picture and her immediate environment is of as much importance as she herself. Some people mistook this picture as that of Myra Hindley (including me), in reference to the B/sdie Suffer Little Children (though I don't think this was intentional). I think that the charm of the Smiths women is the fact that they would be the least likely to listen to his songs and so there is a subtle element of corruption, and these women representing an outlook that they aren't entirely in accordance with. (Although we know, deep down that if there was a revolution it would probably be started by strong, working class women not suited and booted accountants!). That's what Morrissey probably saw in them - a revolution waiting to happen! Yamaha

don't remember that one, can someone remind me?

she had troubles holding the young Lads ready
for promoting things, and video's
Guess Morrissey choose for his band, and PEEPHOLISM somehow got to VAUXHALL]

part 2 damnit!

..but voted for Shelagh Delaney since she sounded the most Irish and they are vey poignant people.

funny woman, heavy drinker, died young,

alumni of the joan littlewood east london stratford theatre workshop

no one had a bad word to say about her.

pure icon

Are these names common in England? Just wondering?

I would have to say that Louder than Bombs (and its relative content) is probably the most prominent collection/portrait of the Smiths... right?

I voted for Diana Dors.She's was a Swindon Girl.

i recently bought a tee- shirt with the Barbarism Begins at Home cover,all done up in yellow and green,viv standing at the railway,splitting to india,i think.for years i had no idea what this image was or where it came from.
striking..unique.wonder what the movie is like..anybody out there know,give reply please.

Will there ever be such awesome album covers again?

sorry angry over another issue~
the clear choice is, despite looking cool
and being the most well known because of 'louder then bombs' is not Shelagh = Alexandra Bastedo
although the girl on the cover of the heaven knows
single (in bed w` sheet covering her would be first choice) SOO much better then hand in glove with a
mans butt on cover - god we all should have known then
