Hatful of Hollow

Product Information

THE IMPOTENCE OF ERNEST" is etched into the runout groove of side A. As well as being a pun on Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, it is an allusion to the impotence that Ernest Hemingway suffered in his final years. "Ian (EIRE)", etched on side B, refers to Marr's younger brother. Attempting to do this album justice is simply not possible. Every song on the album is a flawless testament to the genius of one of the oddest pairs in pop music history. Morrissey and Marr bounced off each other in a way they have never been able to match since. Listen to Hatful of Hollow and you will hear two of the best minds in pop music at work. Still Ill" opens and closes with a harmonica solo, and sounds less hollow and slightly slower than the version on The Smiths.

This Charming Man" has softer and more upbeat vocals, guitars and even drums than the version released as a single and on some versions of The Smiths. The bass line is louder and altered slightly. Additionally, there is no solo guitar introduction. The radio session versions of songs are different from other studio recordings. Some of the major differences are: Morrissey sounds gayer here than he does on their later stuff, for what it's worth (not a number of stars up or down, certainly).
