They own the four albums already. This is what happened next, in both directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free.

Every credited musician becomes a transit line, every album becomes a station, and anyone who appears only once gets a branch line of their own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI built this one as a composite - two full maps stacked on a single portrait sheet - because the four Smiths albums only tell half the story. Morrissey runs across the top with the band years and his solo catalogue. Marr runs underneath with the band years and everything he played on afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stations run chronologically from the 1984 debut, through Meat Is Murder and The Queen Is Dead, to Strangeways, Here We Come. After 1987, the two halves separate and never rejoin, which is the point of the layout: you can put a finger on the split and follow each route out from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four albums are the easy part. What no poster or tracklist shows is the shape of the two careers that came out of them, side by side and to the same scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorrissey's half is a narrow bundle of lines running a very long way. Marr's is a wide fan of short ones. You can read the two temperaments in the linework before you reach a single station name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContributing musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce are credited on all four studio albums, an unbroken line-up across an entire catalogue, which is rarer than it sounds and unusual to see on one of my maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe debut carries two guests. Paul Carrack, later of Squeeze and Mike and the Mechanics, plays piano and organ on three tracks, and Annalisa Jablonska provides the female voice on Pretty Girls Make Graves and Suffer Little Children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorrissey's half opens with Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column and Stephen Street on Viva Hate, then Mark E. Nevin of Fairground Attraction on Kill Uncle, before settling into the line-up that carries most of the catalogue: Boz Boorer and Alain Whyte on guitars, Gary Day on bass, Spencer Cobrin on drums. Boorer runs from 1992 to the most recent records, and Ennio Morricone arranged strings on Ringleader of the Tormentors in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarr's half runs wider rather than deeper. He is a full band member in The The alongside Matt Johnson, then a co-writer in Electronic with Bernard Sumner of New Order, with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe guesting and Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk co-writing. Later, he joins Modest Mouse, then The Cribs, before four solo albums of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat contrast is the reason this exists as two maps rather than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrint Specifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
