Fifteen minutes with you oh I wouldn't say no oh people see no worth in you but I do I dreamt about you last night and I fell out of bed twice you can pin and mount me like a butterfly
From The Pablo Cuckoo Tapes, an early demo recorded on a cassette player for producer Troy Tate.
As (sadly) the world now knows about the existence of the Smiths 1983 "Pablo Cuckoo" rehearsal tape (not demo, thanks media), you should all know that it's available at smithstorrents.co.uk along with many more bootlegs and rarities.
Consider this my good deed for the day, as I find casual Smiths fans to be the most terrible people.
The Pablo Cuckoo Tape - The Smiths
Sorry guys - I've been away for a few days following Noel Gallagher to Dubai (more on that later!)
Today's "song" is a bit different - It's actually a set of songs recorded by The Smiths in a jeans warehouse in Manchester in 1983. BEFORE they were signed, while they were practising to record their first album.
A few things come out of this
1) Morrissey sounds AMAZING - As always
2) The songs sound GREAT - The arrangements are great, and almost "album" perfect. Having listened to many other band demo's the songs often go through such a radical change on the studio versions that theyre often unrecognisable from the demo versions
3) The band is TIGHT - again, demos often highlight the "talent" (or lack of) of many bands, and the difference a great producer, and lots of time and repetition, that a studio recording allows. These songs are all played out live seemingly note perfect.
4) My god - they still sound fresh and current depite being 30years old.
