The Smiths – What Difference Does It Make? 12″

The Smiths – What Difference Does It Make? is a classic 12” single from one of the most influential indie bands of the 1980s. Released in 1984 on Rough Trade Records, this track marked the band’s third single and became a key moment in establishing their distinctive sound—melancholic, melodic, and lyrically sharp.

With Morrissey’s introspective vocals and Johnny Marr’s jangly guitar work, the title track is backed by standout B-sides like Back to the Old House and These Things Take Time, making this 12-inch essential for Smiths fans and collectors of post-punk and alternative vinyl. Known for its iconic cover variations and deep lyrical content, this release is as meaningful as it is musically enduring.

A must-have for any serious vinyl collector, especially those building a complete Smiths discography or curating the best of 80s British indie.
