Alternate versions of songs

Pretty Girls Make Graves (Troy Tate session) (used as B-side to I Started Something...)

An excellent version, IMO much better than the one on The Smiths. All Troy Tate sessions are worth hearing. Many of them are superior to the John Porter-produced tracks on the debut. The highlights, apart from Pretty Girls, include Miserable Lie (miles better than the version on the debut, although the Peel session is probably the best), Suffer Little Children (less slow and droning than the one on the debut, has a certain tension that the other version lacks, and it also has a haunting piano coda later used on Asleep), Wonderful Woman (less polished, more raw than the one from TCM, Johnny's guitar might not that beautiful, but Morrissey vocal is very emotional - one of his best early vocal performances). What Difference Does It Make? sounds very unusual due to strange backing vocal, courtesy of Johnny Marr, which gives it a slightly spooky atmosphere.
 
southofthenorth could you please re-post (Interesting drug -edit-), it seems the file expired. Thank you.
 
The only one of the list above I have is Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, so I will upload it now. Generally I think live versions don't count as alternate versions, but anything that people want uploaded or would like to upload is welcome in this thread. I don't have the Troy Tate demo of Pretty Girls Make Graves, but I will add it to the list.

Hi David,

Here is "Girl Afraid" from NME Dept of Enjoyment, I just got this in a while back, but I don't have it's original source so I can't know what generation it is. It sounds good though...

I posted the Barbarism edit and the HSIN? alternate take back on the first page. But you might wanna hold off for better as I'm unsure of their generation and they're mp3.
 
Does anybody have any idea how much the New York Mix 12" Of This Charming Man is worth today?

I paid $150 about three months before the CD reissues came out and felt like an idiot...

$25ish?
