[[File:Troy+Tate.jpg | right | thumb |Troy Tate ]] [[Category:Producer of Morrissey / The Smiths]] ==Relevance== Morrissey via [[Mention::Autobiography]] says of him: <blockquote> "Production is in the hands of Troy Tate, who comes from Yorkshire and who has been appointed producer by Rough Trade. Mysteriously, we don’t object because we all quite like Troy, but his presence indicates a lack of concentration on our part, because we don’t actually know him, and this unfortunately reveals itself in the rash rumble coming from the speakers. It is not Troy’s fault, but recording does not go well, and we all feel that we must have another shot at it in view of the goggle-eyed interest from the weekly music papers. Geoff agrees that the LP must be right and must be improved upon from the Troy sessions. We do not, in fact, know anyone at all who could or should produce the Smiths’ first album." </blockquote> Troy was responsible for: ==The Troy Tate Sessions== 14 tracks were recorded of which 13 were for inclusion on the debut album.<ref name=breath /> Accept Yourself was released as a B-side to This Charming Man.<ref name=breath /> Jeane was released as a B-side to This Charming Man.<ref name=wiki-tt /> Pretty Girls Make Graves was released as a B-side to Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me.<ref name=wiki-tt /> Reel Around the Fountain was included in a collectors edition of Complete in 2011.<ref name=wiki-tt /> Three leaks of these recordings has occurred.<ref name=breath /> The third leak included an unheard version of Accept Yourself that is believed to originate from John Porter reworking the original Troy Tate recordings.<ref name=breath /> First Leak (aka Core or TATE1)<ref name=st@st /> #Reel Around The Fountain #You've Got Everything Now #Miserable Lie #Pretty Girls Make Graves (officially released version) #Hand In Glove #What Difference Does It Make? #I Don't Owe You Anything #Suffer Little Children #Jeane (single version) #Wonderful Woman #These Things Take Time #Handsome Devil Second Leak (aka Late Mixes or TATE2)<ref name=st@st /> #Reel Around The Fountain #You've Got Everything Now #Miserable Lie #Pretty Girls Make Graves (officially released version) #Accept Yourself #The Hand That Rocks The Cradle #Hand In Glove #What Difference Does It Make? #I Don't Owe You Anything #Suffer Little Children #Jeane (single version) #Wonderful Woman #Handsome Devil Third Leak (aka Demos)<ref name=st@st /> #What Difference Does It Make? #Jeane ==References And Notes== <references> <ref name=breath>Information provided by [http://theirbatedbreath.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/the-smiths-the-troy-tate-sessions/ Their Bated Breath]</ref> <ref name=wiki-tt>Information provided by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Tate Wikipedia]</ref> <ref name=st@st>Information provided by [http://smithstorrents.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=472 Stephane via Smiths Torrents]</ref> <references />
