I'm selling the music that plays immediately before Morrissey comes on stage during his new tour. It's hard to get hold of, so might be of interest to fans. Click here to see the eBay page featuring the item, which is in 12" format and was released in 1990. As has already been discussed several times on this site, the piece of music is by Big Hard Excellent Fish and is titled Imperfect List. As the title suggests, the record lists all the things that drag you down and crush your spirit daily, read out over five minutes with venomous resignation. It goes from Hillsborough to Hiroshima, "red sock in a white wash" to miscarriage, Jimmy Tarbuck to Adolf Hitler, "disloyal lover" to lost keys, "AIDS inventor" to Clause 28, and so on. Big Hard Excellent Fish was actually Pete Wylie of Wah! fame. Josie Jones from the band spoke the words (often incorrectly attributed to the actor Margie Clarke). Hope it's of interest.

Is It? (Score:0)
Which version did he play on tour? (Score:1)
However I'm reasonably sure that there's a version on the 12" without beats (or with the beats turned down low in the mix), which would be identical, or at least extremely similar, to the version Morrissey plays on tour. And in any case it's worth buying for the fantastic words alone, which are here [troubleddiva.com].

Absolute garbage, I'd rather stick my head up vanessa Feltz's arse than listen to that again.

This 12" single does not contain the song played. (Score:2, Informative)
There is a CD single out there with a few more tracks...perhaps one of these is the right one? Or perhaps, Morrissey mixed (or had mixed) his own version? At any rate, you're not going to be satisfied if you go after this item looking for the exact song.
Better to pick up one of the recent DAT recordings of the NYC shows and hear the version recorded there. www.sharingthegroove.org probably still has one or more of these DAT shows available for bittorrent download. I will be re-opening my seed of 5/8 tomorrow.

Nice advertisement for your auction, and I can see you're going to get a pretty penny.
