Sheila Take
A Bow Yea-Sayers: "An adequate rather than a particularly inspired Smiths

Smiths-Speak:
Interviewer: Do you have a particular Camp Hall of Fame or
heroes?
"Yes I do. Candy Darling, she was the cover of 'Sheila Take A Bow'. To
be able to inflict Candy Darling on the record buying public was a perfect
example of my very dangerous sense of humour."
- Morrissey, NME, 2/25/89
