Excerpt from [[Mention::Peepholism: Into The Art Of Morrissey]]: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
The sleeve photograph is a still taken from an obscure 1960's film called 'The Uncle'. | |||
The single was originally released in Holland only, as an alternative to 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore', with the same four live B-sides on the 12". | |||
The sleeve was originally intended to be a still of Sir [[Mention::Laurence Olivier]] with cane raised over [[Mention::Terence Stamp]]'s hand from the film ''Term of Trial'', but although Terence Stamp gave his consent. Olivier was not forthcoming - at least, not in time for release. Such a gripping illustration would doubtless have got up the the noses of, e g. the ''Manchester Evening News'' even more than the lyrics alone did when the song first came out on ''Meat Is Murder''... with enraged protestations of the Greater Manchester Education Committee, talk of picketing the concerts, etc. | |||
