Which 1986 album by The Smiths includes “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out”?

The Smiths’ 1986 album that includes “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” is The Queen Is Dead.

Released in June 1986, the album was the Manchester band’s third studio record. It combined Morrissey’s sharply observational lyrics with Johnny Marr’s melodic guitar writing, while Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce supplied the rhythm section.

The title track and songs such as “Bigmouth Strikes Again” helped establish the record as a central release of 1980s British alternative music. “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” became especially influential, although it was not released as a major single in the United Kingdom at the time.

The album is sometimes confused with Strangeways, Here We Come, which was The Smiths’ final studio album. The Queen Is Dead preceded it by about a year and is generally regarded as one of the band’s defining records.
