The Smiths - Half A Person (John Peel, 17/12/1986)

I remember hearing this when it was first broadcast, I remember taping it. I was 16, I'm now 54

Sounds so good. Even better than the recorded version

[@fightsforrights9744]

I don't think so, but I suppose

I agree 👍🏽 it sounds more vulnerable. Fully opening ones heart for the very first time all awkwardness and all.❤

[@Hearts_and_Bones]

I am obsessed with this recording

Wow Ann!
A Peel version of my absolute fave.. you sure know how to get my weird-ass happy tears gushing down my cheeks!

[@williamboyer2983]

The best Smiths

Smashing. Lovely stuff

Recorded, I think, 2nd December 86. Without Gannon.. closest we get to a live performance in concert 😢

If this had the studio recorded vocals it would be the best of both versions. The guitar sounds fantastic

Great version of this great song

Thank you for this upload because "...the music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life..." !

I love this Peel session, having first heard the repeat playing in January 87. For some reason I thought it finished with female backing vocals singing "that's the story of my life"?
