About This Track

“Suedehead” was the debut solo single from Morrissey, released in February 1988.

The single charted higher than any of the singles released by his former band The Smiths, peaking at number 5 in the UK Singles Chart, and remains one of Morrissey’s most well-known songs. The lead track was featured on Morrissey’s debut album Viva Hate and the compilation album Bona Drag; the latter of which also featured the B-side “Hairdresser on Fire”. The artwork of the single features a photo taken by Geri Caulfield at a Smiths gig at the London Palladium.

Suedeheads were a subculture that grew out from the original 1960s skinhead movement. The lyrics of the Morrissey song are unrelated to that topic.
