"Have-A-Go Merchant"
(Morrissey/Alain Whyte)

 

This song was written and recorded during what is now called the "Boxers" single session in October 1994 at Olympic Studios in South London, with producer Steve Lillywhite. It was at the time of recording meant to appear as a b-side to a single from the "Vauxhall & I" album but ended up on the 1995 "Boxers" single. Musicians on this recording were Boz Boorer (guitar), Alain Whyte (guitar), Jonny Bridgwood (bass) and Woodie Taylor (drums).
