Natürlich überrascht diese völlig unangebrachte Überraschung – und nicht nur uns:
„… Thanks for passing this on but why would you be surprised? None of the songs you mentioned (Action, People etc) are on the published album track-list so why would they be released as singles to promote it? They were universally panned by critics and fans alike, and have already been released on b-sides to a live single. It is surprising, however, that one of these songs is coming out in less than a week’s time, and the first time ever for Morrissey that an album title track has been released as a single. …“
Gemeint sind die drei BBC-Live Versionen der Songs „Action Is My Middle Name“, „The Kid’s A Looker“ und „People Are The Same Everywhere“ aus dem Jahre 2011, die als B-Seiten-Tracks der „The Last Of The Famous International Playboys“-Single veröffentlich wurden. Warum zur Hölle auch immer die irgendwie für Single-Auskopplungen prädestiniert sein sollen …
