"Morrissey should have been born in the years of musicals. His version of Moonriver is the way it was to be sung. His voice flows through the song the band forms a symphony and they all flow together in the Moon River. END"

Five for those b-sides

"The title track is good, typical Morrissey, and while I don't skip over it when I listen to the album it comes from, I often do when I pop in this single. The other two tracks are just too good. While when I first heard of Morrissey singing "Moon River" I was excited and could already *hear* him singing it (how perfect is he for it!), I was a little shocked to find he doesn't sing it here with a traditional musical accompaniment. Such an approach would have been great no doubt, and I'd still love to hear such an outing, but the plodding, guitar-swept version here has its own charm. Very, very good. So, too is "Jack The Ripper"--a fantastic song with one of the best combinations of a guitar riff and Morrissey's signature croon I've heard. I know you can find "Jack" elsewhere, but don't opt out of catching both "Moon River" and "Jack the Ripper.""

"The single is essential. Read _Brighton Rock_ by Graham Greene"
