Title: This and "Louder Than Bombs" are all you need.
Product review: Unless you are one of the vanishing tribe of Smiths completists, the eponymous first album, this collection of singles, and "Louder Than Bombs" contains all that is listenable and enduring from this quartet. Many elevate Morrisey (vocals, lyrics) and Marr (ethereal guitar work), but the rhythm section of the Smiths is oft overlooked, with a bass (Andy Rourke, a friend of Marr's) and drum (Mike Joyce) that never overwhelm, nor embellish, but consistently round out and support strong lead vocals and guitars.
