How Soon is now? (Single 1985)
Another infamous Smiths single, originally released on the "William it was really nothing" 12 inch single. (Just covering the 7 inch to keep it simplified) The song is most notably known for its unique guitar intro, which utilized a series of taped guitar tracks in tremolo, all played together in synch. I believe the other sound is a slide with a whole lot of reverb. Anyways the things you had to do before digital came along. I do love analog though, just a warmer feel.
Anyways a great song, it takes sometime to grow on you though, okay B side to.
*** 1/2 stars thumbs up.
