Saw them twice, Meat is Murder then Queen is Dead tour at De Montford Hall…superb live. Favourite songs Jeanne, This night has opened my eyes and Girl Afraid. 

As if I posted this 10 years ago!

Oh no I wasn't taking the piss mate. Just can't believe I've been on her that long

As well as being Johnny Marr''s birthday, This Charming Man is apparently 40 years old today, which I'm struggling to get my head around more than I should.

 

This means it's 31 years since I bought the re-release, which really doesn't feel very long ago

Was it the one with loads of different versions of this charming man as well as jeane/wonderful woman/accept yourself?.

Aye, that's the bunny.

 

I was never arsed about being a release completist but I wanted to have all the recordings if that makes sense, and this helpfully filled some gaps.

 

They released There Is A Light That Never Goes out as a single not long after (Sandie Shaw on the cover) that had some other rarities on but I think that was the lot as I don't think they sold very well

 

Edit: they re-released How Soon Is Now as well as part of that series, but it was completely pointless as it didn't have any non album tracks as b sides
