In December 1983, DJ François Kevorkian released a "New York" mix of the single on Megadisc records.[23] Kevorkian geared the song for nightclub dancefloors, and the track was intended to be pressed in limited numbers for New York club DJs. However, Rough Trade boss Geoff Travis liked the mix and gave the release wide distribution in the UK. Morrissey publicly disowned the mix, and urged fans not to purchase copies. Travis later claimed, "it was my idea, but they agreed. They said 'Go ahead', then didn't like it so it was withdrawn." He also said, "Nothing that ever happened in The Smiths occurred without Morrissey's guidance; there's not one Smiths record that went out that Morrissey didn't ask to do, so there's nothing on my conscience."

Kevorkian... wasn't he the death doctor in the 80's? Nice mix. Faster tempo, so quite dance-able.

@JwahAmore31 Too drunk to Google but weren't all Smiths LPs released by Geffen back in the day?

I think it's subtle and great but the dub is better! FK is still hot despite being 96 years old...
