"Wonderful Woman" was on the B-side (along with "Accept Yourself") of 1983's "This Charming Man" 12". In 2008 it was included in the deluxe edish of
The Sound Of The Smiths. But if I'm not mistaken, most of the Troy Tate outtakes (only some of them "demos"; see
here) remain officially unavailable. Dammit!
Incidentally, here's a bit from Simon Reynolds'
Totally Wired: Postpunk Interviews And Overviews for ya:
Quote:
SR: Is it true that you're the subject of 'Wonderful Woman', that great lost early Smiths B-side?
Linder Sterling: There's various rumours. So who knows? I don't. I do know 'What Do I Get?' was written about me. Because Pete Shelley told me so.

On the matter of breaking up with a Smiths fan... I did have a relationship with a girl who was obsessed with all thing Morrissey (this was pre-For Britain era, thank goodness), and it ended horribly wrong. But as time went by I realized she didn't really understand the essence of any of it. I should have ended it
way before it blew the fuck up.
