Does anyone have any information regarding this unreleased song? Has anyone heard it?. I am curious to know having read about it in Mozipedia recently. For anyone who has not read about it, here is was Simon Goddard says:
'Studio outtake from the 1997 Maladjusted album session. In context of Maladjusted's weaker crop, it's baffling that Morrissey should have consigned one of it's strongest contenders to the bin. With it's starry- eyed melody and blood-rushing chorus the charming ' I Know Who I Love' was even worthy of consideration for a single. To the chagrin of co-writer Boz Boorer, it was bumped off the album, relegated as a potential B side and then scrapped outright. It may be that, by the time of the album's completion, Morrissey no longer empathised with it's affectionate sentiment: 'These words I scribble down / observe the way that you work / you see it, you want it, you take it / And then it's yours.........I know who I love'. The song also contained a reference to medication- 'These pills that i'm prescribed'- while his 'Having had the worst of times /Now I want the best of times' evoked Charles Dickens famous opening to A Tale of Two Cities. Whatever the reason for it's exclusion from Maladjusted, the loss of I Know Who I Love was a major oversight'.
Simon Goddard also mentions another unreleased Maladjusted song: 'Nightmare' - co-written with Spencer Cobrin. Again have never heard this title mentioned before, the lyrics are apparently unknown.
I wonder how many unreleased tracks there actually are?
