The Smiths Meat is Murder (40th Anniversary) Limited 180gram Vinyl LP
Overview
Celebrating its 40th anniversary on February 11, 2025, Meat Is Murder by The Smiths stands as a defining moment in alternative rock history. Released in 1985, the album became the band’s only studio album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart, where it remained for 13 weeks, cementing The Smiths as one of the most influential British bands of the era.
The album’s success can be attributed to its bold themes, blending Morrissey’s thought-provoking lyrics with Johnny Marr’s innovative guitar work.

The album also introduced a more polished production style while maintaining The Smiths’ raw, emotional authenticity.
