The Smiths - Lyceum Ballroom 1983

The Smiths, live at the Lyceum Ballroom London, 25th September 1983

An early show from the Manchester lads, featuring the three early singles and most of the first album (not released until '84), plus These Things Take Time and Wonderful Woman, originally released as 12" b-sides. The show's cut off at the beginning, as the first track starts mid-song, but it's a good sounding recording for its age.
