The fine British band The Beautiful South release "This old skin" on Monday 6th December with the classic Smiths track "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" as the B side on CD2. I suggest we all go out and buy it.

Quite frankly this is an appalling idea, cover versions are invariably bunk but I fear this will be junk as well..dreadful quite dreadful

Paul Heaton covers Morrissey! Wow I have got to hear what this sounds like. The Beautiful South are the MOST UNDERATED band of all time. If you have not heard them you must check them out. I recomend "0898 The Beautiful South" (translates to 1-800-The Beautiful South in America). The later stuff gets a bit more 60's lounge/pop. They are great. Got to get this single.

Now that's what I call quite good (Score:1)

There was a time when the Housemartins nearly gave the Smiths a run for their money in the wry catchy tunes department (it was no contest really, but competition is always healthy). Heaton remained one of the few emotionally mature songwriters well into his Beautiful South days. Choke and 0898 looked more than respectable alongside contemporary Kill Uncle.

Thought the B/S had actually given it up after some side(tracked) projects, actually. Could be time for another overdue comeback... even if it does ride the coattails of an old rival.

Pd Heaton (Score:1)

Last I remember of The Beautiful South tackling Moz, was an early 90's rant by Pd Heaton, in which he attacked M for the whole National Front Disco/Asian Rut shebang, & said he should "leave those Asians alone!". Bit surprised to find him paying tribute this way, then...
