question about HOW SOON IS NOW -single

[junkpile]

the single version of how soon is now, is it cut as short as the video, i mean the one that's on "the smiths - singles" ?

what about the single format itself?

You can find those info from Stephane's excellent site http://passionsjustlikemine.com

Also I'd suggest you to get a copy of Simon Goddard's book Songs That Saved Your Life which gives you detailed info and insightful analysis of The Smiths songs.

Kewp's right but whilst you are at it I'd recommend you get hold of a copy of 'Panic On The Streets' do a search on here you can get a good deal on it at the mo'.

love

The cut-up version in the video is available on the U.S. Sire single.

The UK versions are shorter but basically the same version as the original B-side. I think the 7" fades out after 3 or 4 minutes or something like that.

I don't own "Singles" so I don't know which version that is, but it's probably the UK 7" edit.

Bottom line: you're not missing anything.
