Just a note about the vinyl edition. Following the tradition from the Smiths days there is a etching at the end of the record... It says "drugs @ townhouse"...

Alex Green listened to The Smiths while writing Stone Roses book

In his own words, here is Alex Green's "book notes" submission for his book, The Stone Roses:

The Smiths “Jean” [sic]

If anyone tells you The Smiths are far too mopey and doleful, punch them in the stomach and play this one for them. The rhythm section shines first—Johnny Marr comes in with this sexy riff that just moves in slinky twists all over the place, while Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke join him in a slithery and shaking backbeat that is pure hips and legs.

And when Morrissey shows up, he’s in a foul mood as usual, but he’s oddly circumspect about the life he’s chosen and decides, mid-song, to give it all up. “The low-life has lost its appeal,” he bemoans and when he does, I start to wonder when it will for me, too...

PETA address in ROTT CD booklet incorrect

Since I'm far from being a PETA supporter I find this quite amusing. The address for PETA at the end of the new CD (ROTT) booklet is incorrect, the state is listed as MA (Massachusetts), when it should be VA (Virginia).
