Selling Promos as New

Hatful of Hollow. The first album I bought by The Smiths.

Positively Records. Levittown.

This was long after I had been buying things from New Order. The Cure. Depeche Mode.

It wasn't that I didn't know The Smiths. It wasn't that I didn't listen to them.

The actual act of purchasing an album. It happened to come later than most.

Before that time. Dubbed tapes. Mixtapes. Nothing original.

Once I started buying. I didn't stop. I still haven't stopped.

However. Hatful of Hollow. Lost. Somewhere. Yet to be replaced.

The Smiths - The John Peel Sessions. ???
