It’s Time The Tale Were Told – A People’s History of The Smiths is thestory of the UK’s most influential indie band.
This book collects together 500 first-hand memories from fans,
support acts, promoters, fanzine writers, record store owners and
the band’s lighting designer of the band in action. From the
earliest club shows through to the final gig at London’s Brixton
Academy, and including memories of more than 20 North
American dates, this is a portrait of The Smiths painted by those
who were there. With personal photographs, memorabilia,
anecdotes and first-hand accounts of over 150 gigs in total, readers
get a front row view of Manchester’s indie music legends in action.
Based on the songwriting partnership of singer Morrissey and
guitarist Johnny Marr, and with 15 Top 40 UK singles & seven
albums reaching number 1 or 2, The Smiths musical legacy is
undeniable. The band broke up in 1987 and have resisted numerous
invitations to reunite.
