Single release by The Smiths originally released by Rough Trade. The A-side track is not included on any of the studio albums but may be found on the two 1987 compilation albums The World Won't Listen and Louder Than Bombs, which also goes for the last track "Stretch Out and Wait", which I always thought of as this single's best. B-1 is from the new album Meat Is Murder.
My copy of the single is printed and purchased in Greece, and the Rough Trade signature RTT 181 is only scratched into the vinyl, whereas it has the Virgin number VG2035-Z printed on the back cover.
