What's the first Moz or Smiths item you got

[ThePoliticalRevolution]

Anyway, Thanks for the songs, M and see you soon, babe.

It was Hatful of Hollow and Vauxhall & I at the same time.

Viva Hate cassette. Still have it minus the tape.

 

[Cornflakes]

Cassette of Rank. I had no idea what to expect, but a record shop had gone bust and all its tapes were 50p.

I can still remember listening to it for the first time.

 

[AtImber2022]

First Smiths was Singles.
First Morrissey was Vauxhall and I.

Both on cassette.

 

[Deleted member 29227]

First Smiths was Hatful.
First Moz was Your Arsenal.
Both were cassette, & (unbelievably) actually still have the Arsenal cassette.

Unofficially, my brother gave me an REM tape of songs....and then he snuck "Girl Afraid" on the end of the cassette as a filler......but then I got into them around "Strangeways" and it's all good from there!

around 1987 my sister turned me on to the smiths thru the queen is dead, a year later her and mama had a yard sale which i found the album plus some albums she accumulated from me somewhere while digging through my collection, so i bought the album but grabbed my albums also. still have her QID!

12 inch,william it was really nothing with how soon is now and please please let me get what i want as b-sides,probably about a quid in 1984.

Sound of the Smiths CD compilation. I came across the Smiths when I discovered they had used photos from the Family Way on single sleeves. I loved and still love the kitchen sink dramas of the sixties that Moz also of course adored. Probably a niche way to get into Morrissey/Smiths but that’s the story!

«The Smiths» on cassette in 1984. It had the single version of «This Charming Man» on it as an extra track. What a time to be alive.

 

[marred]

A pirated version of Education In Reverse on cassette. Ironically I had been playing Side Two first the entire time thinking that was the actual track order. Many years later upon discovering what I did it seemed weird and still does to this day that the album doesn't open with Suedehead.
