'Safe, Warm Lancashire Home' and 'Treat Me Like A Human Being' vinyl rips

[joe frady]

All apologies if this doesn't work, or sounds ropey ~ this is my very first time ripping vinyl, burning, uploading and all that gubbins. Bear in mind that these clearly have not been re-mastered by Bill Inglot as the A-side has (which sounds gargantuan by the way). They are listed on the sleeve as demos and that is exactly what they sound like, untouched since October 1987 :eek:
I've uploaded WAV and mp3 (only 128 kbps I'm afraid) on rapidshare and mediafire. They'll have to do til something better comes along, but to me they sound just like the vinyl - rough. But sweet :)

[Raphael Lambach]

Ohh guy. Thank you very much for posting and sharing it with us.

[newman]

Thank You
Thank You
Thank You! You made my day after a sad news about Bryan Ferry's tour..

[Alex_Smith]

Million thanks joe frady. Yes, the songs sound like demos. And your vinyl rip is very good!

Thanks again,
ALE

[I am a Ghost]

Good man yourself, Joe! Many thanks. :thumb:

[Karl Pilkington]

Cheers for these, always good to have them. Can't see them making it into heavy rotation in my iTunes playlist, though.

[drdannyace]

I'm pleased to hear them and VERY grateful for the rips,
but these are a bit bland aren't they? Granted they are
(audibly) only demos and not finished tracks but they
make Lifeguard and Happy lovers sound like colossal
pieces of art ... that said, I'll probably listen again in
the morning and wonder how I ever made it through the
day without them :)

[mozsupportsrovers]

Cheers nice one

[bobalmighty]

Thank you kind sir :)

[Voodoo Doll]

Thanks :)

So you won't be down the front at Dunoon screaming for him to do 'Safe, Warm Lancashire Home' then?

Anyone else finding it hard not to break into Paul Young's 'Every Time You Go Away' when you hear that guitar sound on 'Treat Me..'? :o

[andrew from sydney]

Thanks - been waiting and waiting to hear these!

[Orson Swells]

Thanks indeed. These Viva Hate doodles may be Morrissey Minor, but it's very nice to hear them - if easy to see why they were overlooked in favour of other material.

I won't be screaming for him to do anything, and hate the benders that do. He has a setlist; shouting random song titles at him isn't likely to sway him from it.
I'll be 2 or 3 rows back, enjoying the sights and sounds.

[billybu69]

Thanks Joe

[Dave2006]

Thanks for these.

Dave

[roky]

Thanks for the links.
But I gotta say, these are pretty much boring. I can see why they were scraped..

[Sal Kramer]

Thank you Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ADAM]

Gracias Joe, and I especially like "Treat Me..." It could have replaced at least one song on Viva Hate.

[not_me_not_I]

Just curious which song you would have dropped Adam.

[yesitis]

thanks

[ADAM]

Just curious which song you would have dropped Adam.

Probably "Bengali In Platforms", but I'd still want that released sooner or later. It could have been the bonus track (U.S.) in place of "Hairdresser on Fire", but that wasn't the norm at the time.

[Dave]

Thank you, Joe.

[Kochka]

Thank You !

[soundofthenorth]

thanks. i wasn't quite sure what these were when i saw the original post. great to hear!

[prisoner77]

Well done. I see why they only now, see the light of day. Nice though.

[Born In 1975]

Thanks for the links.

These really are the bottom of the barrel, aren't they? Moz has gone about it the wrong way of releasing all the odds and sods. These two tracks on a 2nd disc of a remastered Viva Hate along with the other VH related demos/outtakes would have put them in a better context. As an artist with a reputation for quality b-sides, this really stinks of a cash in.

[Niklas]

Thanks a lot!

[stux]

Thanks for uploading.

Terrible songs though!

[mikael]

Many thanks!

[Harsh Truth]

While nice to hear a bit of songs that weren't, these are very unfinished. Treat Me Like a Human Being in particular has promise, but they both just fizzle out into nothing. Has he ever released anything as rough as these before?

Would rather have pro live tracks from Wolverhampton than these demos, for an official release.

I would like to think these might have been what Vini Reilly had in mind when he was thinking of Street's "slight" chord structures.

Perhaps these are just curtain-raisers for the rumored, deluxe edition of "Viva Hate." Clearly this is a drum machine and not Andrew Paresi. Supposedly, a full studio take Safe, Warm Lancashire Home was recorded.

What I find irksome is that he'll cast these scraps out yet he wouldn't include the much more complete alternate "Miraval" tracks on the Southpaw Grammar deluxe OR either I Know Who I Love or Kit on Maladjusted Readjusted.

All petty bitchery aside, many thanks to the original poster for their generosity!

Cheers,
Jamie

That's a good point actually. In 'Mozipedia' Paresi refers to playing on 'Safe..' so a full studio recording, even unpolished, must exist. Both these tracks sound, to me, like the 4-track cassette demos that Street would have recorded himself and mailed to Morrissey to add his guide vocals to. The sleeve credits don't feature any musician listings other than 'Produced and Engineered by Stephen Street'
In that respect at least I find them historically interesting as these must constitute the very earliest fruits of the Street-Morrissey collaboration, probably worked on in October 1987 in the immediate aftermath of the Split. Morrissey's vocals sure sound like a man floored by fate.

[drifter]

thank you

[Eraserhead]

I really love these songs. Yes, they are stripped down and under-produced, but they have that delicacy that allows Morrissey's voice to determine the shape of the sound. I thought the same about Lifeguard and Happy lovers. It's great to hear more Morrissey gems unearthed. I hope there are more to come.

[Phranc & Open]

Thanks to Eraserhead. Finally someone who writes something postive about the oldest Morrissey solo-recordings (demos) to date. I will resist till my package arrives one day. But reading only negative reviews is really hard to take. No one knows if only EMI is responsible for the quality control and not every word his masters voice ever sang was a masterpiece. Or maybe they save the best for last (Vauxhall legacy edition with "Sharp bend fast Car" on it)?

[Devoted101]

thanks joe!! i have used your WAVs and cleaned them up a little, removing some hiss and pop, and boost the gain a bit and ripped them in iTunes Plus (256 kbps .mp4) they can be downloaded here:

i also have the "remastered" WAV files if anyone is interested...

Thanks a million Devoted :thumb:
That's exactly what I expected somebody on here would do; someone with more nous than I.
I was going to try and remove some of the debris but I figured, as a first-timer, I'd leave it to someone with more know-how.

I'd be very interested in the "remastered" WAV files by the way.

[ADAM]

I love the simple, almost quivering sound of his voice (especially on "Treat Me Like A Human Being"). Three words could save my life, indeed.

[sdsuedehead]

I will buy the moment they come out on CD.

Thank you for doing that.

I, for one, really appreciate it.

As for the songs...meh.

I'm not sure of the history of these tracks...can someone fill me in?

Good on you for taking the time to share these. Much appreciated.

[kyleleonard]

I uploaded them on YouTube about 2 days before the other person who uploaded them, no idea why they wasted their time.

[mozmal]

Joe Frady - you have just become my favourite person. Thanks for the upload, I will be buying the CDs.

Is it just me or does anybody else think that Treat Me Like A Human Being sounds like early Smiths stuff (particularly the vocals)?
The more I listen to this song, the more it reminds me of Morrissey in the early days of The Smiths.
There is a palpable sense of heartfelt despair in this song, much like those early 1980s days...

[Johnny Barleycorn]

"Treat" is just that. Lovely stuff. I can imagine it as a fifth track on the Suedehead 12", or better stll a fourth track on Interesting Drug. I'll need to live with the other one a little longer.

It's wonderful to hear this immediate post-Smiths stuff. It reminds me of taking the train back to Uni with Suedehead taped off Peel on my Walkman a month before release, and jumpers for goalposts.

Piracy was very different in those days, hovering over the record/pause button with an eyepatch on.

[Kewpie]

Yeah, it's good to have many channels.

However, better to thank and give the credit to the original uploader for giving the items.

You only reposted them without giving a credit which is rather cheeky.

[sad veiled bride]

I have been singing the melody of "Lancashire" in my head all day...I like it :). Am I the only one? Thanx to all who shared it in their different channels.

[Karl Pilkington]

Yes. You are very much the only one. It's shite.

[sad veiled bride]

Yes. You are very much the only one. It's shite.

I know, I know, I have no taste in music, what can I do? :o

[Raphael Lambach]

"Treat me like a human being" is one of the weakest Morrissey's songs ever. But "Safe, warm..." is good. I'd rather it if this song was released as studio version and not as a demo.

[JoanOfArc]

I have been singing the melody of "Lancashire" in my head all day...I like it :). Am I the only one? No:).I love this song.And his voice is so beautiful.

[sad veiled bride]

No:).I love this song.And his voice is so beautiful.

I'm glad I'm not the only one (you were wrong, Karl P, ahah). This song has a very simple, but sweet melody and his voice is soft and warm, a caress.

[Media Whore]

I'm glad I'm not the only one (you were wrong, Karl P, ahah). This song has a very simple, but sweet melody and his voice is soft and warm, a caress.

I like both. Not initially though. Repeated listens have intensified my fondness of them.

[Eraserhead]

I wish Morrissey would make these demos into complete songs. He could really do something with these melodies...I think they are really good. I suppose the time has passed, though. There are new songs to write.

[JoanOfArc]

and his voice is soft and warm, a caress.Yes:) so soothing.

[JoanOfArc]

I like both.Me too,I cant decide which one I prefer.:)Both songs are beautiful.

[Mr Smith]

Have heard that this has been released with new unreleased (previously) b-sides? Anyone got a download of this for me? thanks

Sterling work.
They sound significantly better than my rips.

I'd urge anyone who hasn't yet to download Devoted101's mp3 or WAV files. They're crackin'! :thumb:

[educated poor]

Thanks a lot Joe.

[april]

Is there a midi saxophone in "Treat Me Like a Human Being"?! I swear it sounds like one during the "Three words could change my life" part.

[DAVIE]

did he do these with Street? well it shows Street didn't match up to Marr on some songs....

[Emotional Guide Dog]

These are awful but great at the same time. They've got a real 'waiting for the train at 3am after a night out' vibe to them.

[massive]

re-up please?

Gracias Joe, and I especially like "Treat Me..." It could have replaced at least one song on Viva Hate.
