Someone made a Smiths vinyl bootleg called Unreleased Demos & Instrumentals. Someone else made a rip of the (pretty illuminating, great) 16-track collection that features, among other things, a couple of previously unreleased Johnny Marr instrumentals (one heavier than the other). Hardcore fans may note it also includes the version of “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” with a final refrain of “there is a light in your eyes and it never goes out” as well as the version of “Death Of A Disco Dancer” with “the improvised ‘whistled solo’ as mentioned in Simon Goddard’s The Smiths – Songs That Saved Your Life.” (I nabbed those specifics from morrissey-solo.com, which is also the place that led us to the collection itself.) Take a listen to a handful of Unreleased Demos & Instrumentals before eyeballing the tracklist.

“There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (Take One)”

“Death Of A Disco Dancer (Monitor Mix)”

“Ask (Pre-Remix Version)”

“Girlfriend In A Coma (Monitor Mix)”

“Untitled Two” (Marr Instrumental)
