THE SMITHS - BOY WITH THE THORN IN HIS SIDE CASSETTE DEMO TAPE.

A TDK AD60 cassette tape with handwritten labels, contents include The Smiths - The Boy With The Thorn / Rubber Ring / Asleep - Single versions, sounds like a pre-final mix as Morrissey's vocals sound more prominent on the 'Boy With The Thorn'. 'Rubber Ring' is interesting because Nadia Fowler's voice at the end of the track fades out rather than the abrubt stop on the released version.

Sold for £1,200
