Morrissey-very rare and unreleased WDYFOFY

[Indepeoplemusic]

It's the demo.

[Queesryche619]

I love the production on 'Vauxhall' so the album version is definitive, but this is a great take, I like the guitar melody that creeps between the verses, nice touch

[SHartlaub8]

Yes. Very Smiths-like. In other words, really good. Nice arpeggios and stop-start technique.

[SpiffyTodaro]

Fantastic! Thx for the post

[juddlinski]

This is very similare to The Killers cover version. I like it. I like it a lot.

[stillilllife]

2:30 - This charming man

[hofsteveO]

5 people dont have any skin.

[jerkey69]

I like this version. I like the images as well. Good stuff.

[slamdunka123]

It is rare and unreleased for a very good reason I think. The other version that was released is so much more killer.

[ellycat]

This unreleased version kicks ass. Alain Whyte = brilliant guitarist and composer. Been looking for this for time. Nice one ;)

[mrpentium]

Dont know why all the vented anger about Morrissey being bitter in his old years. I see what they mean, but prefer to just enjoy the music, without judging him...havent walked in his shoes. Love the B&W stills, and the way women use to dress back them.

[BombJapan]

marlonbarnes is right. Morrissey is a cunt these days. He really should have died in 1987 after he recorded Strangeways and before he turned 28. Going out at 27 would have made him a true legend at his peak instead of a mean has-been that's sold out long ago. The Smiths were legends. Morrissey nowadays is just a sick old gay bastard that's bitter as fuck. All the 'new' fans are truly pathetic. They rate Vauxhall higher than Queen...cunts

[SexToyRocketLauncher]

@BombJapan You go round with the name BombJapan and your calling Moz mean? BTW, I took a look at your profile, you really just wanna be loved, right?

[Reint25]

Does anybody from which year this is?

[jetglo330]

@Reint25 It's from the Vauxhall sessions -this is the original version. In an interview, Steve Lillywhite (the producer) said he kept the vocal and had the band re-record the music with a new arrangement.

[Hinsdaledad]

Really a top song...and this version is simply amazing...Miss this era.

[marlonbarnes]

Steve can surround himself around handsome images and fashionable retrospect. But Steve is entirely past his prime. If you enjoy mediocrity then you are at home here. Also fitting, the post Smith Morrissey is a bitter old man. Most notably his greed regarding Smith royalties and if you dig around 'you tube', you will find that he had no room in his ego for his 'once' beloved David Bowie. He is not a nice person and his music is well...lame. That's my opinion. His promo images are top shelf!

[sherhrtatk]

Who else here, besides myself, can say they like Iron Maiden, Metallica, AND Morrissey?

[MrNewman24]

omg ..viva hate...

[floyddandy]

I´M ROCKER TOO, BUT LIKE ME MORRISSEY,

[theRJshow]

can someone help me out and tell me where i can download the original? please?

[marlonbarnes]

listen to FREEBASS andy rourke is BACK. morrissey hasn't done anything relevent since 1987.

[PlaceOfOrigin]

@marlonbarnes You TWAT. What a dumb comment.

[marlonbarnes]

@PlaceOfOrigin

...I suppose this wasn't the brightest place to post negative feedback to Steve Morrissey, but honestly, the truth be told. The SMITHS were fucking monsters! VIVA HATE had highlights, but good God man. His shit is downright fucking boring as hell! And really...name calling?

[MrNewman24]

@marlonbarnes not....! and you are retarded

[marlonbarnes]

@MrNewman24 ...like your mum!

[BanburyAd]

@marlonbarnes u what? fuckin tell me your joking you idiot

[marlonbarnes]

@BanburyAd ...I was there for the SMITHS. Saw em six times in six different cities. Had the posters, the T's, the flyers, news clippings and magazines. I was a 'hanger on' to post SMITH Morrissey. Christ it wasn't the same. Now when I hear him it's as though he's just going through the motions. Remarkably forgetable. If you call me an idiot, that's OK. But believe me, a pop star is never worth taking a swing at someone. And if you live in the USA, don't forget to vote in November!

[hismastersvoice88]

@marlonbarnes How about 88's VIVA HATE? You DONK

[anonwebserfer]

baby doesnt know its later.

[emperorpsivamp]

cool

[DressSmartLookHard]

Nice version, but the released version is better!

[delusionarium]

great version...sounds like a Your Arsenal outtake

[SuckMyAssAmerica]

who the fuck is Morrissey? oh nevermind FUCK HIM DEEP

[hismastersvoice88]

@suckmymiserableboyass

how poor you are, ask yourself why you dont have friends...........

[SuckMyAssAmerica]

i have no friends not becuz im a dumbass im weird and ugly THATS WHY IM SO LONELY

[DonnyShiver]

I love this song,I saw this concert in Nashville in maybe...1992?.. anyways I remember this song anytime I need it.

[AndrewAnthonyHyde]

Thanks you so much for posting this.

WDYFOFY is certainly one of my favourite Moz songs, and I always surmised it was down to that soft and gentle production on the album. But this is good too.

"And what do you do? Well, you just SIT there!!"

[tagjim]

Wow. This is very, VERY close to "Still Ill". Thank you for posting it.

[mrpentium]

@tagjim I was thinking the very same thing. Dont know if it was intentional or not, but this wreaks of the Smiths

[southpawcom]

God dang....this sounds like The Smiths.....

[mrpentium]

@southpawcom I was thinking the very same thing. Dont know if it was intentional or not, but this wreaks of the Smiths

[69crafty]

this version is fantastic, it really is!

[johnboykim246]

viva morrissey

[derf2g]

Please tell me where you found this version!!

[blahface1357]

i really like this version. Go Moz! :)

[cindylauper]

Awsome version and awsome slide show.

[soberthenfew]

outstandiing tune!

[talissin]

Excelent footage mate.

[TheReverendMoose]

This is how they play it live often.

[punkchick23]

Where did you get this and is there anyway you could send me the mp3 file?

[CrinkleCutBeatroot]

I remember the headline of a review of Vauxhall. "Goodbye, crap rockabilly" haha

[jstow01]

Funny. I love Vauxhall and think it's probably my 2nd favorite Morrissey record to listen to, but as far as Moz's live act is concerned.....the rockabilly phase was awesome. The swagger, the energy, the loudness...it was like Morrissey was deliberately sticking it to critics who slagged him off as soft and effeminate. Not to mention that the band was probably never tighter musically than at that time. I prefer that to his current arena/crooner live show.

[CrinkleCutBeatroot]

I agree, the shows around like the Live In Dallas DVD look like so much more fun! I went to see him this year, and as much as I love seeing Moz, the crowd was soooo boring, it really dragged it down. I even got funny looks for having fun.

That might just be because I went to see the Specials the same week and it overshadowed them... now that was a fun gig!

[thedude77md]

How did I not know this existed until today?! Probably b/c Moz has turned into a jerk (maybe he always was?) and I stopped staying up to date on things. Regardless, I like this more than the original!

[Kramer025]

ive always liked this version over the album version

[ninmat]

Why it wasn't released? Probably because the album version is better. This one is interesting though.

[iamtrey12345]

someone finally got around to posting the Demo of this song. i have quite the Morrissey bootleg collection, maybe i will upload some gems as well

[ROLOTRISTAN]

if its not too much trouble, send me some

[sinbin55671]

I like this version better than the released one.

[sebaof]

esta version es del disco alterno al vauxhall & i se llama ruSH TO DANGER!!!

[WarioSpaulding]

the band performing this track isnt the smiths!!!

its a track produced by Morrissey and his band.

i mean morrissey as a solo artist! morrissey is the greatest songwriter ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gretscher]

Totally. It sounds nothing like The Smiths or Johnny Marr.

[fiendorgyfetisha]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[boypoet7]

I really like this version. Who knows what Johnny Marr could've done with this one.  Oh, well, some things we'll just never know.

[mrpentium]

@boypoet7 Sounds like the wrote it with Marr in mind, doing what HE would have

[crashtestdammie]

gz m8!nice fotos..nice song;D

[losthighway13]

why has morrissey such a connection with rockabilly-style?

his music isn't rockabilly at all, even when boz is in his band?

[Milbo1973]

This is great - the tempo reflects the live version what a song - today I will mostly be playing.............. Vauxhall and I !!!!

Thankyou

[Harno3]

Very,very,nice...great video and beautiful song version!!!

[katiewayne211]

great version. does sound a little like the smiths. often wonder what they would sound like if the smiths were still together

[alesitospirit]

Eyyyy esta versión es totalmente nueva para mí quizás mejorando un chin el sonido, pero es lo que hay y me ha sorprendido demasiado, amo este tema desde que tenía 25 años ;^)

[Partyphotographer]

thanks for posting this!! i love it

[ninmat]

sounds like the smiths

[AshmanGT]

Wow listen to that lead guitar!

Better than the original?

[bmxgeniesdad]

some one jog my memory for me please ,where was 58 dean street records. thanks.

[barney23]

58 dean street was a record shop in the Soho area of london which dealt in old soundtracks to movies and suchlike. It moved nearer the British Museum and is called RARE DISCS

[TrikkyMakk]

wow nice version of this song

[sebaof]

[sebaof]

Del disco: Rush-to-danger algo asi xD

"those-charming-man"

[tomqelectronica]

wow the pic in 205 min thats in a pontins holiday camp england cant be sure what one cos thay are all built the same

[rockinelectro]

That's Geraldine and it's probably Brean Sands.

[mozzyboy01]

And the pic @2:00 is just awesome, captures the essence of that period and the musicians. Who are the other 2 along with Cobrin and Whyte? If the guy on the left was skinnier he may have passed for Morrissey.,..

[rockinelectro]

The other two are friends of mine, Guy and Ian.

[mozzyboy01]

You shitting me???

[rockinelectro]

What about?

[mozzyboy01]

Their your friends. Are they musicians?

[rockinelectro]

We are all musicians, that pic is in my book 'rockabilly underground'.

[MidnightChimes]

great version. thanks for sharing!

[mozzyboy01]

wonderful musicians, Marr was a musical genius but Boz is enduring.

Morrissey is........... well, you know.

[Triplesod]

Boz knows that his band is Morrissey and he is a good enough guitarist to not interfere with the vocals, only enhance them.

You have to be a great guitarist to play so subtly and intelligently.

Boz is great!

John is still God though!

[mozzyboy01]

Well written...

[happybluething]

Ahh... this is just brilliant, I can't stop listening to it over and over again! Could you please tell me if it's possible to get a copy of this somewhere? I know that it has never been released, but still...

[xSpectatoronex]

WOW! Probably my favorite Morrissey song, and this arangement sounds GREAT!

[gabbie72]

WOW!! great one..!! just like everything he does..! amazing voice LOVE, I love you Moz..!!

[maudlinrich]

Great video

[tmoore2010]

First time ive ever heard this version. Excellent job.

[michaelscreen]

Your video compilation is amazing , well done fella. I watched it twice in a row, very compelling viewing, do some more!

[hofsteveO]

..at 2:04..is that the Memphis sinners?

Alain and Spencer are both in that pic..

[rockinelectro]

I think they were called 'Born Bad'. Guy Bolton gave me the picture for my book 'Rockabilly Underground-London 1980s'.

[iCb4me]

Great version! Any idea where I can get a copy of it?.

[rockinelectro]

The track has never been released

[iCb4me]

Is it on a bootleg you know of?.

[nunzioforpresident]

nice version,i like it.

[arthurgillis]

wow, one of my favorite songs...

very cool version...

[TaintedHeavens]

i love new wave.......

[Morrisseythe23rd]

Thanks for this. Nice photos too!
