Good version, but what the hell is that second voice when he sings Bigmouth??

There's an interesting bit about said in Sound on Sound's excellent S.Street interview:Even on the album version I always thought it sounded strange.
As if choir vocals behind the leading voice were doubled and recorded at higher speed.
I thought it sounded like The Muppets.
But don't get me wrong, Bigmouth is a hell of a song as Brian Eno said and a great single!
There's an interesting bit about said in Sound on Sound's excellent S.Street interview:
"Meanwhile, take a look at the album credits and you'll see that the slightly weird-sounding, high-pitched backing vocals on 'The Queen Is Dead' and several other tracks were performed by one Ann Coates. Ever wonder what happened to her? If so, you'll be hard pressed to find out. Ms. Coates, you see, was otherwise known as Morrissey with a pitch-shifter.
"I was experimenting one day, trying the AMS harmoniser with different pitch changes, and it kind of worked and he kind of liked it," Street explains. "So, we decided to go with that; me putting him through a 1.5 on the harmoniser. You can hear it on 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' as well. Morrissey was a great one for wanting me to try out effects on his vocals. At that time, apart from the harmoniser, he didn't go for much backing vocal or harmony work — he's done that more on recent albums — but he did like to experiment. And the fact that I did this to a greater extent than John Porter, using his vocal like an instrument, probably helped endear me to Morrissey."

It's great they post these live versions in Spotify.
It's a great way of waiting for the new songs, too.

Anything that helps promote is good in my book.
That said, ironically, at least one band member is already decrying Spotify via indirect posts:

Post concerned in full:
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but given its recent use by The Smiths and possibly Moz, perhaps he should be a bit more guarded. I think most 'end users' are very happy music will be available via Spotify.

I wait for you every day and night of my life so I know what waiting is.
