I have found at www.eeggs.com (an easter egg page) the following information on Smiths records (I couldn't check it out to see if it is really true):

(more)


1. Look at the inner groove (the quiet bit at the end of each side) on many Smiths or Morrissey 7" and 12" singles.
2. You will find little inscriptions penned by Morrissey such as (not exhaustive):
I. Hand in Glove 7" a)Kiss my shades b)Kiss my shades too
II. This Charming Man 12" a)Will nature make a man of me yet? b)Slap me on the patio
III. Heaven Knows... 7" a)Smiths Indeed b)Ill forever
IV. Heaven Knows... 12" a)Smiths presumably b)Forever ill
V. William... 12" a)The impotence of being Ernest b) Romantic & _ is hip and aware (or certain pressings: We hates bad grammer)
VI. Last Night I Dreamt... 12" a) The return of the Submissive Society starring Sheridan Whiteside b)The bizarre oriental vibrating palm death starring Sheridan Whiteside

The full list of etchings is available in the "Etchings on Vinyl" section at Stephane Daigle's "Passions Just Like Mine".

    I may be wrong but these etchings are done by the guys at the pressing plant.

    Kiss my shades I believe appears on quite few RT records. I'll have to be anal and check.

    Like vinyl itself these etchings make the product even more personal than CD. And this comes from a CD single junky!
