He played William, it was really nothing by the Smiths, apparently Red Rhino are releasing all 8 Smiths cds remastered by Jonny Marr...
I don't think I'll be buying it... but I remember when it was released as a single in 84 or 85 (more likely) it was the follow up to 'Heaven knows I'm miserable now...' and both releases manged to coincide with hospital appts I think. I certainly remember mum treating me to the one of those after a particularly crap visit to the South Hants - it might have even been when they put me in on the crap low protein diet? I remember going into Woolworths with her and and coming out with that little bit of vinyl encased in some arty smiths sleeve - it was probably a still from a British 60's film. Viv what's her name was on the back of 'Heaven' but that was more to do with her looking like one of the protagonists featured in the b side of that, which was 'Suffer the little children'.
The cover of 'William' was a bloke on a bed with his head in his hands, the pic had a greenish tint I think.
- Just checked and it was a still from a film called the 'leather boys' I can guess what sort of film it was now... What did my 14 year old brain think of that? I can't remember!
Anyway, I remember really liking the B side too... "Please please please, let me get what I want' and not feeling all that shortchanged by the total running time of the single, which was just about 4 minutes!
