Notes

Mispressed edition featuring a different version of "How Soon Is Now", with additional vocal harmonies from Morrissey. The song is very different at the end when it comes to an abrupt close with Morrissey saying "OK?". The music then fades back in again.

Recorded at Jam Studios, July 1984.
Mixed at Eden Studios.

    This 12" would make a good record store day release/reissue.
