Origin and recording (απ' τη wikipedia)
The Smiths began working on "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" during its late 1985 recording sessions at London's RAK Studios. In early September, the band recorded a rehearsal tape of the song performed in the key of F# minor. Four days later, the group made a monitor mix in the key of C# minor, this time accompanied by a synthesized string arrangement. While Morrissey was cynical about using synthesized strings, the lack of a budget to hire a real string ensemble as well as a reluctance on the band's part to allow outsiders into the recording process changed the singer's mind. The recording was completed in November at Jacobs Studios in Farnham, where Morrissey redid his vocal part twice and Marr added a flute melody.
Due to a dispute between the Smiths and its record label Rough Trade Records after the group completed The Queen Is Dead, nine months passed after the release of "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" before the group issued another single. Once the matter was resolved, Rough Trade owner Geoff Travis felt that "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" should be the band's "comeback" record. However, Johnny Marr was insistent that "Bigmouth Strikes Again" be the band's next single...
[Κι έτσι δεν βγήκε ποτέ σε single -παρά μόνο στο παραπάνω 7ιντσο πρόμο- όσο οι Smiths ήταν μαζί. Κυκλοφόρησε όμως το 1992, απ' την Warner για να προωθήσει ένα best of τους. Πήγε στο νούμερο 26. Παρακάτω ήταν τα εξώφυλλά του.]
