Still Ill [Hatful] > Still Ill [s/t]
Still Ill [Hatful] > Still Ill [s/t]

Although Still Ill is one of the songs where the difference between versions is the least flagrant, I am of the same opinion. The Hatful version is most definitely better produced and I really like that sick harmonica overdub in the intro and outro.
The only track where I'm on the fence whether I prefer the Hatful version or the s/t version is This Charming Man. The s/t version has the cool intro and the stop in the middle while the Hatful version is just super comfy. What are your thoughts?
Aaron Carter
Hard to choose. I think prefer the s/t version of Charming Man. It just has a bit more energy to it.
Still Ill from Hatful rules. Love the harmonica.
Owen James
the guitar in the verse is a little more interesting in s/t, and the intro's great as you said. hatful version just has less in the verse. however the mixing is better, and this really shows in the chorus, and I also think the slower tempo works better for the chorus. you can hear every note so clearly, whereas it's kind of muddied on the album.
if s/t had been mixed by Troy Tate it would have been better.
Carson Martin
Literally every song [Hatful] > Literally every song [s/t]
Aaron Thompson
Reel Around The Fountain tho
Nathaniel Rivera
Close but is right.
Nathan Reed
Hatful is easily their best album
the only song that is better on s/t is Reel Around the Fountain

Gavin Sullivan
Like said, the intro and the break were sorely missed. It was enough of a dealbreaker for me that I prefer the s/t version.
Xavier Jones
i disagree 100%
i prefer the hatful version, it gives a more laidback vibe
Nicholas Edwards
Best album is The Queen Is Dead
Best This Charming Man version is S/T

Best lyric ever.
Joseph Smith
The harmonica sounds stupid and out of place. I also don't prefer it more slowed down.
The Hatful Of Hollow version of What Difference Does It Make? is better though.
Nicholas Cooper
I'm so used to Hatful of Hollow, those versions have become like the "official" versions in my mind.
Josiah Sanders
I WOULD GO OUT TONIGHT, BUT I HAVEN'T GOT A STITCH TO WEAR
Juan Bennett
The harmonica is the selling point of that version imo.
Kevin Ortiz
More importantly, which is the definitive version of Hand In Glove?
Louder Than Bombs version has the cool fade in, but the vocals and lead guitar are noticeably weaker. Rawer sound overall.
s/t is faster and the guitar is more prominent, vocals are louder and clearer, generally more polished sound.
Hatful of Hollow version is the same as LTB I think?
Cooper Evans
Yep, the Hatful and the LTB versions are the same. They're the version that got released as a single before s/t came out.
On this one, I give the edge to the s/t version. I prefer the more prominent, less ethereal vocals as well as the "hard" intro and outro. Also, I find that the song isn't hurt (as much) by the bad production on s/t.
Colton James
Hand in Glove sucks
Jack Butler
Piss off.
Zachary Johnson
It's clearly the worst track on s/t
Henry Phillips
every track is great
Liam Rodriguez
Some Tracks Are [Way] Better Than Others
Easton Davis
Morrissey had a crush on Johnny
Josiah Moore
reminder that the original drummer left the band because of their "gay image"
Nathaniel Thomas
kek
I remember some documentary where I think the bassist talked about his dad being super embarrassed at teh Hand In Glove artwork with the big muscular dude's ass

But think about how fragile masculinity is even today? How often would you see two male bandmates dance with each other onstage like this in 2016, let alone in 1985? To me, The Smiths were legendary not only in their music, but through the way they combatted norms in terms of sexuality and gender.
Noah Anderson
kek
also, is andy roarke the best bass player of all time?
Jaxon Bell
Imo best album is Meat Is Murder, but you're correct about This Charming Man.
Leo Cook
I prefer the Hatful of Hollow version of Hand in Glove, in fact it's the only song on Hatful of Hollow that I prefer to the s/t version
Brody Baker
he's very good. he didn't make any of the songs but i'm pretty he sure he come up with basslines to go with Marr's compositions on his own and he's very good at creating within that limitation
another favorite bassist of mine is Mike Mills, but it's not the bass, it's the backup vocals. his harmonies are too creative. also Marr and Buck are my favorite guitarists because they're the gods of jangles.
Chase Perez
Most underrated Smiths song?
Colton Evans
I'd say Rusholme Ruffians. I never see it getting talked about.
Austin Moore
LISTEN HERE YOU PIECES OF SHIT
LISTENING TO MORRISSEY SPIT PHLEGM AT SOMEONE IN THE CROWD IS BETTER THAN s/t AND HATFUL
Connor Hill
nah, this Ask can't compete with the triple layered guitars on the studio version.
