Okay, so I've finally got the single.

I'm not terribly excited about the cover, which is probably the worst Morrissey cover of all time.

There were two version that I saw, a CD single and the DVD single. The CD version includes "My Life Is An Endless Succession Of People Saying Goodbye", which was not on the DVD. The DVD version has a live version (and video) of "The First of the Gang to Die", which, I guess, is taken from the M.E.N. Arena on 22 May 2004.

The behind-the-scenes photos accompanied the b-sides gets boring really fast.

Here are some of the photographs:

If you're cheap, like me, you can convert your DVD single to CD audio through either a DVD Audio Ripper or the free Audacity. You will need the "Lame" plugin to convert the file to MP3.
