Welcome to Mostly Music Store

Louder Than Bombs gathers The Smiths’ singles, B‑sides and session tracks into a wide‑ranging compilation that highlights the band’s melodic sharpness, lyrical wit and distinctive indie sound. Originally released in 1987, the collection moves from jangling guitar pop to darker, more reflective moments, showcasing key collaborations with Stephen Street, Steve Lillywhite and Kirsty MacColl. This 2011 European 2LP reissue presents the album on 180 gram vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, offering a comprehensive portrait of the band’s mid‑80s output with strong remastered clarity.
