]]> The Smiths “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore” released on this date, July 1st, 1985. 12″ single. The sole UK single released from their album Meat Is Murder, it went #49 in the UK. This was probably the first or one of the first Smiths 12 inches I ever bought, pretty sure in late summer or early fall of ‘86 when finding UK imports was still a thrill (well, it kinda still is!). “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore” is a beautifully despondent Smiths song and Johnny Marr lists it as one of his favorites (his guitar work on the track is gorgeous). The B-side of the 12″ has four live songs recorded at the Apollo in Oxford on March 18th, 1985: “Nowhere Fast” (on Meat Is Murder),  “Stretch Out and Wait,” “Shakespeare’s Sister” (a single-only release from March ‘85) and “Meat Is Murder” (on Meat Is Murder, obviously).

I have a lot of 12″ singles from the 1980′s, mostly British pop and new wave. Reason? They were cheap compared to LP’s and I was trying to keep up with my friends’ richer record collecting habits. I considered anything imported rare, warranted or not, so I felt this 12″ was a real prize.
