Check out eBay at the moment...
They have Alan Winstanley's 1 sided promo of 'November the 2nd' which is one of those 'lost' tracks. Apparently Morrissey ordered them all destroyed... this buyer wants £3000!!

There is even a run out groove inscription which will be kept secret but please be assured and bid with confidence that this is the genuine artical.

I thought his name was Alan--not M.R.
Some people may scoff at this kind of nitpicking, but I believe these kinds of intentional errors give scam-artists greater legal leverage.
The auctioner might someday rightfully assert "I never said it was owned by Alan Winstanley; I said it was owned by M.R Winstanley: Michael Richard Winstanley. Mike was an EMI janitor at the time."
Another nitpick. The auctioner writes, "Please be assured and bid..." Please be assured of what? That it's a fake?
If this isn't a scam, it makes me shudder to think someone with such piss-poor grammar might possibly make 3000 pounds via one badly mangled Ebay auction listing.

So, can someone verify that November the 2nd is in fact just a remix of November Spawned a Monster? Someone on the general board has uploaded a file said to be from an original DAT from EMI.
Also from the board:
On the topic of this question.. Remember when the 4 song CD sample that was supposed to be released with the Suedehead, best of Morrissey CD. Michale Legg had one, and it has November the 2nd on it.
I am sure more people have some copies, and they didn't all get destroyed.
Look for threads 'hear november the second' and 'november remix?'.

The A&M God Save the Queen 7" doesn't even go for that price, and that's probably the most sought after British single ever, so why would a dodgy promo of a Morrissey single be worth that.
Think I'll sell my vinyl Queen is Dead.
Starting bid £1500. Any offers ?
