A disappointing start for Johnny Marr post his Smiths stuff.

Would you think so. I consider it to be an absolutely perfect pop song.

Real sound of a long hot English summer (few and far between) off it.

I’m being harsh to be fair.

Marr’s Smiths output is up there with my favourite ever output by anyone.

Anything other than that can never live up to those levels. But I’m not hugely gone on the song to be honest but it’s just a personal thing.

That wasn’t his first collaboration?

He did stuff with The The but that was his first proper album/single departure.

Wasn’t he playing guitar with The Pretenders around then as well?

Similar to the The The stuff I think, nothing really official.

Great bit of guitar on this track
