"There Speaks A True Friend"
(Morrissey/Alain Whyte)

 

This song is credited as having been recorded in "North London in February 1992", which points to the initial recording sessions for the "Your Arsenal" album at Utopia Studios in Primrose Hill. This can be true, or the song may have actually been recorded during the proper "Your Arsenal" session in March 1992 at the Wool Hall in Bath, with producer Mick Ronson. Musicians on this recording were Boz Boorer (guitar), Alain Whyte (guitar), Gary Day (bass) and Spencer Cobrin (drums).
