I don't BELIEVE it! - another "Smiths" weekend

[Tingle]

because HMV had 'The songs that saved your life (or whatever it's title is @ £4.99 down from £14.99. It has loads of detail and reminds me of so many things that seemed so important then - for example the inner sleeve of "Shakespeare's Sister". If you're interested they also had the Morrissey singles box set at £18 from £28 (I didn't buy that). To cap it all the BBC used "This Charming Man" as background in the "Nation's Favourite Sitcom" programme about One Foot in the Grave during a segment on how Victor Meldrew is an unlikely sex-symbol (being a pensioner and grumpy etc).
