Think about it. He could privately finance them, and not share a red cent with any of the other guys.
Or maybe Morrissey and Marr?
It would be terribly clever.

I know he got stopped selling stuff he had didn't he, so I wonder if he has thought sod it and has agreed a deal for the stuff on the quiet with someone who would go on to release it all as bootlegs?

[as he wrote years ago he had loads of demoos,
but couldn't officially release it]
I dunno the story about mutewitness61 in the forums, or
how he got them, but the person I mentioned is IMHO the source, or it is someone around camp Smiths, or a great technician who did it himself
Instrumentals are not my thing even the Smiths,
I want lyrics and voice
That person is not amused, me thinks
anyway for all fans great this comes out though wished it kept hidden in this site, now the media
will and everyone will have an opinion and 4 persons will get lots of phonecalls, or 6 people
sorry to be so critical, bootlegs, we all know Morrissey is fine with it, he himself tapes every gig
but this a different situation

Also, I'm thinking that extended "Queen Is Dead" must be the original full cut before they trimmed it down for the album.
Goes without saying... HUGE find. Thanks to whoever made this possible... especially The Smiths!

For years I've dreamt of putting together a compilation called 'I Keep Mine Hidden: A Secret History of the Smiths', which included such tracks as 'Frankly... (with horns)' and the extended 'TQID' which I knew existed but which few had ever heard. Well now I have heard them, and own them, and I can make my fantasy reality.
