Our next track in the Smiths A-Z project is this song, released as the band's debut single in May 1983 and reaching #124 on the UK singles chart. "Hand in Glove" was also included on The Smiths and Hatful of Hollow (released the following year), as well as being released as a single by Sandie Shaw in 1984 (that version reaching #27 on the UK singles chart).
The song was played live by the Smiths 170 times, and has been played by Morrissey 31 times - mostly in 2004 and 2014.
