Re: Here's the treats
The walk one is splendid, thanks. These recent acoustic takes are great.

Skinny and everybody else, thank you so much for these.
Considering both songs sound 'finished' or at least near completion, it makes me wonder why Morrissey chose to never release them. I've heard that he wasn't impressed with his 'Kit' vocals (I imagine this is the "plead, pray, beg, and call upon you part") but they aren't awful and surely could have been corrected with an extra take.
Does anyone know when 'Hard to walk tall' would have been recorded? I'm not totally au fait with the court case but I always heard this song as a jab at Joyce. Was the court case 'on the horizon' when the song was recorded? Either way, it's a beautiful version with a more ambiguous feel than the Ringleader b-side, which is a little to direct for me. 'Hey Ringo/gringo' is surely a bit of a swipe at someone.

Please forgive my ignorance but wasn't this version of Kit already floating around? Either way, I am truly appreciative of everyone's generousity. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the full Kit and Walk Tall...
Forgive me.. I must be over looking it, but what show was the new Smiths instrumental soundcheck recorded?
Same here! Thanks a lot to the people who made this possible. So long in the making.... Don't want to bash the Mozzer's output since 2004 but this is the real stuff. Nothing else! "Kit" has some superb "early Suede" tremolo aka whammy bar work on it. So glad to get the full idea of the song. "Small" may be "Lost" and it's a fantastic proof how strong all of this "class of 97" material still is. Hope the goldmine won't shut it's doors anytime soon.Usually lurk, but felt the need to log in for the first time in years to say thanks
