    It is a VERY long list for a newbie to ask for. If it were just one or two songs you were after I might have volunteered to upload...but not so many.

    Can I suggest you start your search here http://www.ebay.com/ and then come back in a few months time when your list is shorter?

    Feel free to upload them as and when you buy them and rip them...

    Morrissey: "I'm not in!"
    Jools: "Oh, come on."
    Morrissey: "I refuse to open the door."

    I know it's a long list but if you could upload one or two of them it would be great.

    No problem. I think many of us were in your position at some point. I would not have all the rarities I have if not for the generosity of some people on this forum.

    The only one I don't seem to have is the "other edit" of "How Soon is Now?", which I only recently found out about.

    I've included different versions of some of the songs you asked for. One version of "Heaven..." is from vinyl, the other is an edit someone here made from the standard CD version. With "Headmaster Ritual," one is the straight vinyl transfer and the other was cleaned up and treated with effects.

    Miserable Lie {4:27} (live Oxford 18 March 1985)
    * Rough Trade compilation
    (Canada and Holland various artists compilation)

    Is that included here? Is it from the bootleg of the show or the actual recording from the release?

    Finally, here is the "other edit" of HSIN. I've posted the Intro & Outro that was included before and after the track too if anyone wants them.

    The one I included runs 5:16, but it is mixed and edited differently from the live bootleg of that show that I have. It also fades out at the end. I have no idea what the source is.

    I've never come across one edited in such a way or with that running time. Passions lists the running time at 4:27 but I've seen other sources list it at 5:17. See this link: http://www.discogs.com/release/1177173. Of course the song/performance is the same with the difference being crowd noise.

    Thanks for posting it!

    Hmm...so do you think the one I posted might actually be the Rough Trade compilation version? It's weird that Passions would have an incorrect running time, but there's no way it could run 4:27 unless about 30 seconds of the song were edited out. Hmm...

    The only aspect that gives me pause is the fact that my file starts rather abruptly.

    Oh that's very likely a copy-and-paste error. 4:27 is the length of the song's studio version. The live version from that compilation is indeed 5:17.

    Sorry for the delay in replying, I'm just back from a few weeks in sunny Greece.
