Those reunion rumours might be put on the back burner for a bit, but The Smiths’ train keeps a-rollin’ - they’re reportedly set to release a new 7” single.

The record will feature previously unheard versions of ‘The Boy With The Thorn In His Side’ and ‘Rubber Ring’ according to Morrissey fan site True To You. A release date hasn’t been shared, but you can check out the Morrissey-designed artwork for the release below.

Last month, it was revealed that The Smiths very nearly got back together in 2008. Go on lads, do us all a favour.
