"Sweet and Tender Hooligan" single (The Smiths)

I decided to get The Smiths' "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" single. It's backed with a few rarities. The a-side is quite a good song, on par with some of their other singles, though probably not ranking amongst their very best. B-side "I Keep Mine Hidden" is also very good, possibly even better than the a-side. A remake of Cilla Black's "Work Is a Four-Letter Word" was a disappointment for me, because I love the song and I love The Smiths, but the pairing didn't work as well as might have been hoped. Final track "What's the World?" also doesn't measure up to the first couple.

Tracks:
1. Sweet and Tender Hooligan
2. I Keep Mine Hidden
3. Work Is a Four-Letter Word
4. What's the World?
