I've gone for will never marry, but there are too many songs on your list that still give me goose bumps. for me emotionally, this was Moz's best set of b-sides.

Weird. "Such A Little Thing..." is a very minor Moz song for me; and musically knicked from Jobriath, as others have noted. Why isn't "Hairdresser..." included? Or "At Amber"? Or "Journalists Who Lie"? I think the b-sides for "Suedehead" and "Everyday..." are some of his finest and most consistent. But I also feel the partnership went downhill very fast.

I voted for "I Know Very Well..." - bizarrely never collected on any compilation CD ever. Never understood why.

Refresh my memory, which Jobriath track was Such a Little Thing lifted from? I love that song, but went with Will Never Marry (the extended ver.) You're right about I Know Very Well...must be one of the least pressed tracks in Moz-solo history.

Always wondered by Street never wrote songs again for anybody else. I think the tapes he gave Morrissey were a lot more sketch-like than we imagine, but I could be wrong.
