This week celebrates the great world of internet friendships.
At the end of March, I re-posted some really early songs by James and made the request for a copy of a cover song The Smiths had released as a track on the cassette-version of the single I Started Something I Couldn't Finish.
Delighted to say that Steve Hodgkins from Dubai had the song over to me within hours (as indeed did another very kind reader but I'm ashamed to say I've accidentally deleted his/her e-mail...sorry)
mp3 : The Smiths - What's The World (live)
This was performed during the sets of a short Scottish tour in September 1985 and the version later released was from the Glasgow Barrowlands show on 25 September. It's a fairly faithful run-through but if truth be told, the original version by James is way superior. But I remember hearing it played at the gig in question and being excited at the time......
Happy Listening.
