Extra Track (and a tacky badge): A petition to release the Porter "Sheila Take A Bow"

A petition to release the Porter "Sheila Take A Bow"

I've created a petition, for shits and giggles, encouraging Rhino/Warners (and Morrissey and Marr) to release the John Porter recording of "Sheila Take A Bow" (as found on the stellar Demos and Outtakes 2xLP bootleg) as a single.

Sign it!

Spread the word too. Who knows, perhaps we'll effect change in Smithdom.

Not in anyway wishing to split the vote here, but after further consideration I'd rather see the studio version of "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" get this honour; thus finally giving this masterpiece the status it deserves.

The Porter version pales in comparison to the released recording, IMO. When's the next Rough Trade restoration gonna be uploaded? Mush-Mush!!!

A careful restoration of the Smiths on Rough Trade.

All tracks were taken from the best/earliest possible sources to avoid modern mastering techniques which crush the dynamics. Tracks sourced from vinyl have been carefully cleaned and EQ levels have been tweaked for consistency. The artwork was scanned at the highest possible resolution and the type was reset when possible using the original fonts.

All of these singles are out-of-print in their original form. Some of the tracks have never appeared on CD. This was a labor of love from a small, devoted circle of fans.

These are the songs that saved your life. If you like what you hear support the band by purchasing their catalog.
