<blockquote> | |||
The closing weeks of 1983 were a turbulent time for The Smiths. Apart from the sad departure of Joe Moss, there were additional niggles following the appearance of a dance version of ‘This Charming Man’. François Kevorkian’s New York remix was intended originally as a limited edition 12-inch single for clubs and disc jockeys until Geoff Travis championed a full UK release. Unfortunately, the dance mix conflicted with the group’s purist vision of pop and met a particularly cold response from their predominantly indie based fan following. Morrissey blamed Rough Trade for needlessly milking The Smiths and implored, “It was entirely against our principles, the whole thing; it didn’t seem to belong with us.” | |||
