The Smiths
1983

Promo poster for The Smiths' startling debut single, Hand In Glove.

Cover star: unknown model photographed by Jim French, taken from Margaret Walters' book 'The Nude Male'.

According to Jo Slee, "It caused a frisson of semi-homophobic delight even among the more earnest denizens of Rough Trade Distribution at the time."
