I taped this in my bedroom in 1983. A couple of weeks after seeing them live at Portsmouth polytechnic students union hall. 😊

Rene Jaax I thought it was Morrisissys band ? Were you the fifth smiff ?

[@nigelblockhead80]

Thanks Vibracobra, you're a national treasure

Read some gimmicky piece that was ranking all the Smiths songs from worst to best and the author had “Back to the Old House” very near the bottom, which I thought was insane. Just a heart-achingly gorgeous, delicate song. Although this take kills the studio version.

@@Vibracobra23_Original Nice! You should do a blog with your band art. I'd give it a read.

[@matthewfbridges]

love everything on here except the intro to Still Ill. i don’t like the harmonica, i can’t lie.

Now I’ve put my modern Morrissey dislike to bed, he’s a shithouse, it’s lovely to relive these tracks for what they are. Utterly lovely.
