Someone made a Smiths vinyl bootleg called Unreleased Demos & Instrumentals. Someone else made a rip of the (pretty illuminating, great) 16-track collection that features, among other things, a couple of previously unreleased Johnny Marr instrumentals (one heavier than the other). Hardcore fans may note it also includes the version of “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” with a final refrain of “there is a light in your eyes and it never goes out” as well as the version of “Death Of A Disco Dancer” with “the improvised ‘whistled solo’ as mentioned in Simon Goddard’s The Smiths – Songs That Saved Your Life.”
Tracklist:
- “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle”
- “Reel Around The Fountain”
- “Rusholme Ruffians”
- “The Queen Is Dead”
- “Sheila Take A Bow”
- “This Night Has Opened My Eyes”
- “Untitled One” (Marr Instrumental)
- “Ask”
- “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out”
- “Is It Really So Strange?”
- “Frankly, Mr. Shankly”
- “Shoplifters Of The World Unite (Reprise)”
- “Girlfriend In A Coma”
- “Death Of A Disco Dancer”
- “Paint A Vulgar Picture”
- “Untitled Two” (Marr Instrumental)
