On this episode of Smithscyclopedia, we welcome Elise Soutar (@smilesawakeu) onto the show to dive into the creation of Meat is Murder in anticipation for the album's 40th anniversary coming up in February 2025. We talk about the relationship of the album to Manchester, of the band to Stephen Street, and of the heavy topics the Smiths were starting to take on in their music.
