The nine-song session was tracked in May 1983 at manager Joe Moss' Crazy Face warehouse, before the band hit the studio to record their self-titled debut. While songs like "Reel Around the Fountain" and "Hand in Glove" play fairly similar to their more famous counterparts, there is a rough and tumble quality that warrants a listen, from Morrissey's playful yelps and growls to the hilariously mismatched, almost surf-style drum roll that leads into "These Things Take Time."
