The Smiths – Hatful of Hollow
Hatful of Hollow (1984) is a compilation album by The Smiths that collects BBC Radio 1 sessions, singles, and B-sides, offering a vital snapshot of the band’s early work. Featuring iconic songs like “How Soon Is Now?” and “William, It Was Really Nothing,” the album highlights Morrissey’s lyrical wit and Johnny Marr’s jangly guitar style. Rawer and more urgent than their studio albums, Hatful of Hollow is cherished by fans for its immediacy and emotional depth, capturing the band’s unique blend of melancholy, humour, and melodic brilliance.
