Background:
In May 1993 Morrissey released his first live album called “Beethoven Was Deaf”. It was recorded over two nights in December 1992. The sleeve notes of the album incorrectly credits the complete set as having been recorded in Paris, when in fact seven of the 16 songs were recorded in London two days before the show at Le Zénith. The tracks “Jack The Ripper”, “Sister I’m A Poet” and “You’re The One For Me, Fatty” from “Beethoven Was Deaf” will be included in the “World Of Morrissey” compilation released in February 1995.
You will find here the 12 missing tracks from London and the 10 missing tracks from Paris.
A few songs played during the two gigs were not included on “Beethoven Was Deaf”: “Tomorrow”, “Alsatian Cousin” and “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys”.
In London, “November Spawned A Monster” was stopped after two minutes because Morrissey was trying to remove a ring from an audience member to wear it on stage.
The silver CD bootleg “I’m A Poet” used a DAT audience recording, but due to a bad transfer some diginoises can be heard during the show. One friend of the taper is unfortunately “un gros beauf” (a redneck), and can’t stop making stupid comments between the songs. A member of the audience will shout for “The Loop” until… “The Loop” is finally played, but another one will have less success with “Everyday Is Like Sunday”.
Due to the average mixing and editing of “Beethoven Was Deaf”, it is not possible to “add” the official tracks into the outtakes, or vice versa. All the speeches made by Morrissey in London and Paris (edited in the official album) were kept on the outtakes tracks in their actual place.
