Released in 1984, the album captures the group at their rawest and most immediate, with many fans preferring these BBC recordings to the original studio versions. It reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart and has become one of the defining releases of British indie music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing iconic tracks including How Soon Is Now?, This Charming Man, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, William, It Was Really Nothing, This Night Has Opened My Eyes and Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want, Hatful Of Hollow remains an essential record for any Smiths collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressing Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal 1984 UK first pressing on Rough Trade, catalogue number ROUGH 76.
