Yea-Sayers: "Morrissey
trips out again on mellow folkiness. Try to get ahold of the 12" version
because the B-side boasts live versions of 'Nowhere Fast,' 'Stretch
Out and Wait,' 'Shakespeare's Sister,' and 'Meat Is Murder' which ably
surpass the recorded versions. Johnny Marr plays with a plectrum plucked
straight from heaven." "Morrissey
apparently responds to Daryll and Joe's 'It's Not Funny' on the Smiths's
'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore,' which features a bunch of live takes
including the guilt trip 'Meat Is Murder' on the B-side (Rough Trade
import). Is he trying to put my mother out of a job?..."
