About this album

How Far Will You Go? (The S&M Recordings, 1973-81) presents Smokey as a gleefully genre-slipping cult act with a taste for shock, swagger and hooks. This 2015 compilation draws together recordings made across 1973 to 1981, tracing a run that moves from glam and punk attitude into rock’n’roll, disco and funk textures. The result is a sharp portrait of an underground band whose rough-edged humour and theatrical energy helped define the more outrageous side of British rock. Heard as a whole, the set shows why Smokey remained a distinctive, hard-to-pigeonhole presence in the era’s post-glam landscape.
