I'm well into JM's biography at the moment and have only just learned that two albums which I loved by The The (Mind Bomb & Dusk) have Johnny all over them...awesome guitar *and* harmonica moments (not normally a fan of harmonica but he really makes it work).
He was officially in the band for six years and I hadn't quite registered the fact!
Do yourself a favour and dig them out

I was in a Smiths tribute band when I was in my early 20s and I studied about 50 Smiths songs. It helped my songwriting more than it helped my guitar playing. And the guitar on those recordings is still magical

Also Morrissey sings in a low register and the guitar and bass frame his voice perfectly. This is like the prototype for the smiths sonic formula
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, I like this instrumental version. Not that I don't like Morrissey, I do, even if it sounds a bit like someone is trying to saw his legs off as he is singing.
I also think Johhny Marr is a bit underrated as a Harmonica player.
My feedback thread is here.

Would love to hear a proper stereo hi def audio release of this.
Pretty Girls Make Graves - The end where the band stops and he carries on playing the arpeggio chords is lovely,
