typical early work kinda demoo

Surely The Smiths were composing far more accomplished songs by the time suggested here! Even the throwaway tracks like 'I Keep Mine Hidden' and 'Work Is A 4 Letter Word' are more musically advanced than this. This sounds more like something from the 'These Things Take Time' or 'Girl Afraid' sessions.
If this REALLY was where The Smiths were going in 1987, we can only but scratch our heads at the complete lack of musical progression!!

"''I emailed Simon Goddard about this track. He confirmed it was genuine, but that information given during the clip was completely wrong... here are the real facts.
''It was recorded in July 1984 (three years before the split) at Jam Studios, London around the same time as 'William....' and 'How Soon Is Now?' and was produced by John Porter. Morrissey was in the studio, he just never sang on it because it was an instrumental demo of no specific title but, for studio purposes, it was logged on the master reels as "Fast One". It's referred to under that title in the book 'Songs That Saved Your Life', in which I speculated that elements of the tune were a precursor to 'I Want The One I Can't Have' (written few months later) It was never ever called "The Click Track", except by those who weren't paying proper attention''.
Cheers,
