Mozipedia: The Encyclopaedia of "Morrissey" and the "Smiths" - Waterstones

Synopsis Steven Patrick Morrissey is one of the most original and controversial voices in the history of popular music. With The Smiths, he led the most influential British guitar group of the 1980s, his enigmatic wit and style defining a generation. As a solo artist, he has continued to broach subjects no other singer would dare. Worshipped by some, vilified by others, Morrissey is a unique rock and roll creation. The 300,000 words of "Mozipedia" make this the most intimate and in-depth biographical portrait of the man and his music yet. Bringing together every song, album, collaborator, key location, every hero, book, film and record to have influenced his art, it is the summation of years of meticulous research. Morrissey authority Simon Goddard has interviewed almost everybody of any importance, making "Mozipedia" the last word on Morrissey and The Smiths.

A bit of rough and tumble: Rough Trade celebrates 30 glorious years - The Independent

Excerpt:

Rough Trade The moments that shaped Indie

The Smiths' first hit single

Rough Trade pinched these Mancunian upstarts from under the noses of their home city's Factory Records, not to mention a scrum of major labels. Geoff Travis proved his worth by engineering a run of hits, beginning with 'This Charming Man' (1983).
