The album became the band's only number one on the UK charts, and stayed on the charts for thirteen weeks. It also reached number 40 in Canada[12] and number 110 in the United States. Writing and recordingAfter the relative production disappointment{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} of the band's 1984 debut album The Smiths, singer Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr produced the album themselves, assisted only by engineer Stephen Street. They had first met Stephen Street on the session for "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" and requested his contact number.[13] Officially, the record's production is credited to "The Smiths". To build the album's soundscape, Morrissey provided Marr and Street with his personal copies of BBC sound effects records from which to source samples.[14] Morrissey would continue this practice on future Smiths singles and albums. Meat Is Murder was more strident and political than its predecessor, including the pro-vegetarian title track (Morrissey forbade the rest of the group from being photographed eating meat),[15] and the anti-corporal punishment "The Headmaster Ritual". Musically, the band had grown more adventurous, with Marr and Rourke channelling rockabilly and funk influences in "Rusholme Ruffians" and "Barbarism Begins at Home" respectively. "Rusholme Ruffians" interpolates the Victoria Wood song "Fourteen Again". Author John King has suggested that the title track was inspired by the 1983 song "Meat Means Murder" by the anarcho-punk band Conflict, which deals with the same topic and also opens at a slow pace.[16]Morrissey also brought a political stance to many of his interviews, courting further controversy. Among his targets were the Thatcher administration, the monarchy, and his musical contemporaries. When asked about Band Aid, which was being strongly promoted in the UK media at the time, he quipped, "One can have great concern for the people of Ethiopia, but it's another thing to inflict daily torture on the people of England."[17] Similarly, he began to staunchly promote vegetarianism in live shows and interviews, on one occasion convincing a Scottish TV show to air footage of slaughterhouses during the dinner hour.[18] Release and reception{{incomplete section|date=July 2018}}The subsequent single-only release "Shakespeare's Sister" was not a great success in chart terms, nor was "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", the sole single from the album, which peaked at No. 49. The song "How Soon Is Now?", originally issued as the B-side of "William, It Was Really Nothing", was added on both the US and Canadian editions of Meat Is Murder after becoming a success in North American dance clubs and on alternative radio (it was also added to post-1992 WEA re-issues of the album). This song was eventually released as a single in its own right in the UK, reaching No. 24 in the charts. Two Meat Is Murder album tracks were also used as B-sides of singles — "Well I Wonder" (on the reverse of "How Soon Is Now?") and "What She Said" (on that of "Shakespeare's Sister"). The 2011 remaster of Meat Is Murder restored the album's original UK track listing. Cover artThe album's sleeve uses a 1967 photograph of Marine Cpl. Michael Wynn in the Vietnam War,[19] though with the wording on his helmet changed from "Make War Not Love" to "Meat Is Murder". The original image was used for Emile de Antonio's 1968 documentary In the Year of the Pig. LegacyIn 2003, Meat Is Murder was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[20] The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[21] Use in other mediaPart of the recording of the album was featured in a 1985 episode of the BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test. In 2016, animal rights advocacy group PETA released a video game titled This Beautiful Creature Must Die, based on the song "Meat Is Murder". The game, which featured a chiptune rendition of the song, tasked players with clicking on their screens before different kinds of animals get chopped up in a death spiral.[22][23][24] Track listing{{tracklist| all_lyrics = Morrissey | all_music = Johnny Marr | title1 = The Headmaster Ritual | length1 = 4:52 | title2 = Rusholme Ruffians | length2 = 4:20 | title3 = I Want the One I Can't Have | length3 = 3:14 | title4 = What She Said | length4 = 2:42 | title5 = That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore | length5 = 4:59 | title6 = Nowhere Fast | length6 = 2:37 | title7 = Well I Wonder | length7 = 4:00 | title8 = Barbarism Begins at Home | length8 = 6:57 | title9 = Meat Is Murder | length9 = 6:06 }}Note
