by Simon Goddard
Based upon new interviews with band members, producers and acquaintances,
this book investigates the stories behind the songs, from their very first demos in 1982 to their final
fractured studio session five years later. The book also lifts the lid on previously unreleased
material never before mentioned in print.
In the research for this book, author Simon Goddard was granted unprecedented access to The Smiths'
studio archives and the private collection of outtakes and rehearsals retained by drummer
Mike Joyce (who also provides a complimentary foreword).
The result is the most comprehensive examination of their esteemed discography ever assembled,
revealing lost songs and alternate versions which have remained closely guarded secrets until now.
Informative, impassioned and revelatory, as an analysis of "The Most Influential Band of All Time",
The Smiths - Songs That Saved Your Life is indispensable.
240 pages, 232x152mm, 40 illustrations. Released December 2002.

But he is both reviled and revered by various sections of the gay community.
