“'Louder Than Bombs' was one of the 1st Smiths albums I bought, aged about 15, and funds always being short I never got around to 'Hatful Of Hollow', figuring I had already had most of the songs anyway. 'Hollow' Is worth it though, as they're mainly alternate versions, along with a couple of exclusives including this little charmer - B-side to debut single 'Hand In Glove'. Morrissey actually sounds a little out of tune in places, but for me this adds to the aura of twitchy sexual frustration, while Marr's relatively simple but effective slashing backing track shows how The Smiths knew exactly what they were doing right from the start.”
