Strangeways, Here We Come is the fourth and final studio album by The Smiths, recorded in the spring of 1987 at The Wool Hall near Bath and originally released that September on Rough Trade, by which time the band had already broken up. Johnny Marr regularly swaps the guitar for piano, strings and studio effects; on Death of a Disco Dancer it is Morrissey himself who plays the piano. Girlfriend in a Coma and Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before stay closer to the early singles, while Paint a Vulgar Picture settles accounts with the record industry and its endless recycling of back catalogues. The album reached number 2 in the United Kingdom. Both Morrissey and Marr have repeatedly named it their favourite Smiths album. This edition is an LP.
