Slutsåld

This is a small format edition of a lavishly produced photo book of the band acclaimed by many as the most important UK act of the 1980s. Photographer Paul Slattery was allowed unprecedented access to the Smiths during the crucial period of their carer and this book is a permanent record of an era when their remarkable music struck a lasting chord in a generation alienated by Thatcherism. Slattery could be found backstage, front of stage and anywhere in Manchester where the Smiths plied their trade. This first book of his work features many photos never seen before.
