    The Smiths' "Hatful Of Hollow" first pressing on vinyl is a classic of indie-rock. The band's melancholic melodies and insightful lyrics are timeless and still resonate with audiences today. The sound quality is excellent, capturing the raw energy and emotion of each performance. The vinyl format brings out the warmth and depth of the music, making this album a must-have for fans of The Smiths and 80s alternative rock.
