As far as I know it was included with all the vinyl versions. I don't ever remember seeing a vinyl copy without the booklet.
It only has the lyrics to Teachers... but then so did the CD and Cassette.
Just realised I don't have You Must Please Remember on my iPod. I need to find the cd single of Dagenham Dave!!!
He's so right, Nobody Loves Us should've been on the album (it's better than any song on the LP and one of his best songs EVAH!) but he's wrong about Dagenham Dave being a good song. It's absolutely crap! Southpaw is a great song too but it's gotten no recognition from anybody including the man himself.
the second worst moz album. honey you know where to find me is a song i love but even that couldnt save it
Funnily enough Teachers & Southpaw are my 2 favourite tracks! He is bang on about 'Nobody Loves Us' and 'You Must Please Remember.' I still think the album would've worked as an 8 track affair if he'd simply swapped out 'Best Friend' and 'Do Your Best' for the 2 aforementioned songs. Or of he'd waited just a little bit longer and had those 'Boxers' sessions to add to the album. There were some classic tracks on that EP.
Man.. I really miss Alain. Great guy.. Excellent musician. Life is a Pigsty is in my top 3 all time Morrissey/Smiths songs.
do your best, best friend and boy racer are three of my favorite moz tracks ever! alain's right about shortening teachers and southpaw and including nobody loves us and you must please remember.
As far as I know, You Must Please Remember is the only b-side on a single that hasn't subsequently been released on a compilation or re-release or what have you. Not even on the Southpaw Grammar re-release.
Southpaw Grammar is Morrissey's failed attempt to make a Smoking Popes album.
