REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN b/w JEANE TROY TATE VERSIONS.
Taken from the infamous 'Troy Tate' produced sessions for the aborted first album the EX Teardrop Explodes guitarist was enlisted by Rough Trade as the band's 1st producer following extremely well received BBC Radio 1 sessions for John Peel and David Jensen. .
These legendary and the majority being still officially unreleased sessions are the talking point of all Smiths collectors with a total of 14 tracks recorded which included the tracks from this single Reel Around The Fountain & Jeane.
Following a recording in August for another session on the David Jensen Show the track Reel Around The Fountain was banned for broadcast due to sexual references which consequently prompted Rough Trade to sack Troy Tate and cancel the single.
