"A Good Day Tomorow" comenzó como una canción que había escrito Boz Boorer para una banda llamada 12 Dirty Bullets. No usaron esta canción aunque terminaron otra. Buscando canciones para el nuevo álbum de Happy Martyr, a Lusty le gustó esta canción e hizo un gran trabajo al encontrar esa melodía para el coro. Joe luego la llevó a otro lugar con sus coros, Dave Ruffy (The Ruts) puso la batería y en el instrumental del medio hay un guiño a 'Been A Long Time' de Andy Ellison, cantante de 'John's Children'.

Initials BB es una canción de Serge Gainsbourg publicada en 1968 . Fue el simple de apertura de su álbum Initials BB y trata sobre la actriz y símbolo sexual francesa Brigitte Bardot, que era tan famosa en ese momento que sus iniciales eran suficientes para saber a quién se referían las personas. Gainsbourg una vez tuvo un romance con ella y esta fue su forma de expresar lo que sentía al respecto. Esta versión la hizo Boz Boorer el guitarrista de Morrissey y The Polecats y lo acompaña James Maker (cantante favorito de Moz), en voz. Publicó las dos canciones en su bandcamp en Mayo de 2022. Fué un simple doble. Acá se los dejo.

What an interesting time capsule of a video. This clip is Morrissey being interviewed for a whole 50 seconds by the Kleavage Sisters (can't find any information about these interviewers?) at a release party for RPLA's (which is James Makers second band, Red Patent Leather Angels) "Absolute Queen Of Pop" single on "Big-E," 30 October 1993, supposedly one day before Johnny's 30th birthday - though digging through the broadcast records my guess is that this most likely was broadcast on Johnny's 30th birthday. Moz and Johnny had reconciled by this point and had taken their trip out to the Moors.

For reference, Big-E was a sort of trashy, late night show presented by ITV from 1991 to 1995.
