The The - “Uncertain Smile” (1982)
The The [The Matt Johnson years (1983–1988)]
In 1982, the intended debut album by The The (The Pornography of Despair) was recorded, but was never officially released. Johnson apparently ran off some cassette copies for friends, and several tracks have been re-recorded or issued as B-sides, but the album remains unissued, and (according to Johnson) is likely to remain so.
Instead, in 1983 The The released their official album debut, the synth-noir classic Soul Mining. It featured the minor UK #71 hit “This Is The Day”, as well as a new recording of “Uncertain Smile”.
The Pornography of Despair. Totally stealing that.
