No, they went with an indie label and sub-par production why did they do that? To have complete control over their music.
The Beatles were as well produced as bands got in those days. And the Smiths are a cult indie rock band, and as far removed from pop, especially the mainstream version, as a band can be. I don't know why you assume RK didn't have "complete" control over their music. You think this isn't actually the final product they wanted to put out? Maybe this is actually the sound they've been searching for all these years. And I bet it goes on to become their most successful album. It's certainly the best they've ever made.
