Thanks to a trip to Vinyl Exchange
- Australian World Won't Listen (with unique gatefold image, not used anywhere else) - I've been after one of these for ages
- Mispressed Shoplifters / You Just Haven't Earned it Yet Baby. From Passions:
Original plans were to release "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby" as the a-side of this single, with the same b-sides. Plans were scrapped by Rough Trade after the 12" test pressing stage. These white label test pressings bear the same catalog numbers as the "Shoplifters Of The World Unite" 12", and have become highly collectible. To make collecting the Smiths even more interesting, some stock copies (about 900) of "Shoplifters Of The World Unite" on 12" were mispressed with "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby" on a-side as it was originally intended. These are also very collectible, although not as much as the scrapped test pressings.
Also, via Amazon:
- L-Shaped Room (Take me Back to Dear Old Blighty)
- Charlie Bubbles (Billie Whitelaw cover of William it was really nothing)
- Orphee (This Charming man)
- The Leather Boys (Colin Campbell from Ask and video for Girlfriend in a coma)
If only it was snowing here, I could spend the day locked indoors on a Smiths-fest
