Hello. I was rifling around some old files, and I found something I'd been looking for for ages - that rare thing - a Smiths song that never made it.
This is taken from a sound-check at Dundalk Fairways Hotel, February 11th, 1986. It isn't quite Panic, and it isn't quite Sheila Take a Bow, but it's somewhere in between, and before either was recorded/released.
An interesting historical artefact.
Enjoy.

More proof that Morrissey was the most important element of The Smiths. Johnny's clunky repetive chords progressions ripped off from T Rex are not much to write home about as standalone tracks. Yet the isolated tracks of Morrissey's vocals that are out there (eg "Stop Me...") are spellbinding.
nice. Has a good swing to it. Made me think of some Cure or Stray Cats or even one my favorites from
Herman's Hermits...

Funny, I immediately thought the opposite. How The Smiths sounded quite muscular on their own, and that his solo band has really dropped the ball for quite some time now.
Groovey, cant be downloaded i suppose?
Super Thanks anyway
Excellent!
