The current sleeve for Hatful of Hollow is the CD issue sleeve, featuring a cropped photograph of the otherwise unknown Fabrice Colette taken by Gilles Decroix. The original sleeve, pictured above, included a tattoo of a Jean Cocteau drawing on Colette's left shoulder, which Colette commissioned in June 1983 because he idolised Cocteau. The photograph is taken from a July 1983 special edition of the French newspaper Libération. [13] Additionally, the old cover had a large sky-blue frame with the legends "The Smiths" and "Hatful of Hollow" above and underneath the picture. Editions after 1987 feature the cropped version with the text superimposed, although the 2011 vinyl re-issue reinstated the original sleeve. Attempting to do this album justice is simply not possible. Every song on the album is a flawless testament to the genius of one of the oddest pairs in pop music history. Morrissey and Marr bounced off each other in a way they have never been able to match since. Listen to Hatful of Hollow and you will hear two of the best minds in pop music at work.

The Smiths release a bargain price special album on November 2. 'Hatful Of Hollow' Beyond that, infant euthanasia, unemployment, employment, rejection and apathy are among the manifold miseries on offer, shot through with a waster's humour (usually) and an implicit, muscular, ambiguous sexuality that scared the shit out of millions. "Reel around the fountain," forever trying to catch up with itself like a record played off-speed, may be the best thing they ever recorded, and the epitome of Morrissey's interrupted fantasies. The instrumentation is great but the vocals. Morrissey has some majestic voice and that's one of the main reasons I love The Smiths. The music is so meticulously crafted around Morrissey's voice. This has some of The Smiths best music ever and although Morrissey is a piece of shit this music is so good.The radio session versions of songs are different from other studio recordings. Some of the major differences are: On “Girl Afraid”, for example, Stevie perfectly retells the feeling of awkwardness, desperateness, and timidity that flail about in the teenage mind during a seemingly innocuous encounter in a basement, of all places. He also has a supreme talent of hitting on both the male and female perspectives, especially in said song. Stevie’s sexual ambiguousness, both in his media personality and in his lyrics, allowed the listener to mould the song to their own liking and interpret it however they saw fit. Some saw “Reel Around the Fountain” as nothing more than an harmless love song, others saw it as a bestial telling of paedophilia. Some listeners interpreted “These Things Take Time” as an innocent retelling of a friendly drunken afternoon – others interpreted as a ghastly abomination detailing unrequited homosexual love. My only gripe is that the disc came in a paper sleeve, which meant it was scuffed and a bit dirty. A dry brush helped though and there are no audible or other defects. This Charming Man" has softer and more upbeat vocals, guitars and even drums than the version released as a single and on some versions of The Smiths. The bass line is louder and altered slightly. Additionally, there is no solo guitar introduction. This sounds great for an LP that has 56 minutes of material on it - that's hard to do. Could it sound better on 2 discs instead of 1? Sure, but is it necessary? Not in my opinion.
