    Default Are there any Smiths songs that Moz should re-record?

    It may seem like blasphemy, but there are some songs that The Smiths recorded that were either produced poorly or have been vastly improved in concert.

    I would go with "Shakespeare's Sister" because I think that the production is god-awful. With the right production values, it could have been a huge hit. Not to mention the entire "Kill Uncle" album (w/ complete Rockabilly backing!).

    What do you think?

    EDIT: Feel free to include solo songs as well. Forgot to mention that.

    I've always felt "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby" never quite fulfilled its potential. The World Won't Listen version is very good, but I think that with the right production, it would have been really special, and an excellent single in its own right. The main problem with a re-recording, of course, is the lack of Marr, because his guitar work on the original was excellent. But if they were going to have a go at any of them, I'd be interesting to hear what they'd do with that one.
