"If You Don't Like Me, Don't Look At Me"
(Morrissey/Jesse Tobias)

 

This song is generally assumed to have been recorded with producer Tony Visconti at Forum Music Village in Rome in the autumn of 2005, which corresponds to the recording session for the album "Ringleader Of The Tormentors" (September-November 2005). However Matt Walker is credited as the drummer on this song as well as the other b-sides to the single "The Youngest Was The Most Loved", which means that it must have been recorded at a different moment (Matt Chamberlain drummed on the album material), but still with Tony Visconti as producer. Information about recording location and date is needed. Other musicians credited on the recording are Boz Boorer (guitar), Jesse Tobias (guitar), Alain Whyte (backing vocals), Gary Day (bass) and Michael Farrell (keyboards).
