Just got word that "The Bed Took Fire" (Morrissey/Stephen Street MAY '91), an unreleased early version of "At Amber" is circulating on Napster. From what I understand, it is indeed real. I think this is the first time (and hopefully not the last time) an unreleased song has been made available via Napster.

Unreleased Songs (Score:1)
Mmmm.... I once heard that by the time of the release of "Suedehead - The Best Of..." there was supposed to be a "Limited Edition CD" containing "Striptease With A Difference", "Oh Phoney" and "November The Second".
Maybe this is just the beginning and all those song will see the light shortly..... or maybe this is the end and all of us who downloaded "The Bed Took Fire" will be fired from Napster because "someone near the man" (remember what happened to "Frankly Vulgar"?) doesn't want those files traded for free.

also, listen close at the end, as the song fades out, you can hear clicks. it sounds like this mp3 was created off vinyl. anyone agree?
and finally, a side note...
a few years back morrissey was asked by a fan if he was ever going to play at amber live and he said "why would i do that? its an awful song" or something like that. so now we get two versions of a song he doesn't care for much.

Rarities (Score:2, Informative)
I agree with many on the board that it would be a fine thing in these slow times to put some energy towards trying to find some rarities for The Smiths fan community.
At one time or another most members of the band when asked have stated that there is not much rare material that was not released. I think this is probably the case but as suggested in their statements I also believe that there are SOME rarities that have not seen the light of day. Whether Morrissey(solo) or Smiths material, here is a starting list of items that I believe do still exist somewhere in a recorded form:
"A Fool Such As I" (Elvis cover by The Smiths - first few bars of the song inadvertantly deleted)
"I Want A Boy For My Birthday" (Full Version)
"Frankly Mr. Shankly" (Alt. Version with Trumphets)
"Kitt"
"Oh Phoney"
"Striptease With A Difference"
"Please Help The Cause Against Lonliness" (Morrissey Vocal Version)
"November Spawned A Monster" (Alt Version)
In addition, I feel that there is probably some terrific footage of the legendary Wolverhapton concert residing in a vault somewhere. The concert was filmed by Tim Broad (I.E. Clips of the concert in "Hulmerist"), professionally recorded (I.E. "Sweet & Tender Hooligan" live b-side) and professionally photographed (I.E. Music articles of the time). Yet, in terms of a complete document of this amazing concert, the best we seem to have as fans is a poor audience bootleg recording. Would anyone else be interested in seeing/hearing the full show?
I am in no way trying to say that this is a complete or even acurrate list of the rare material that may be in existence. This is simply my best guess based on information collected over the years. Maybe this list can act as a starting point for any other interested fans to try to confirm the existence of any of these items, add other possiblities to the list or better yet offer bits of information that might lead to some of these items becoming available.
The collective knowledge of The Smiths community could probably unearth some pretty cool stuff.
Happy New Year!,

Unreleased ?? (Score:1)
Unfortunately, I don't have any more details than that. I got this information from a friend who has the vinyl, but I never pressed the issue. The apparent scratch of the needle at the end of the MP3 makes the story that I heard a bit more plausible.

Not to throw a wrench into the works, but I'm not 100% sold on the idea that the mp3 in question is actually titled "Bed Took Fire." It may very well be, but then again it may just be "At Amber".
