The Smiths: the 10 best singles never released on an album, according to Radio X magazine

As Morrissey's tour rolls on, between concerts and cancelled dates, it's magazine Radio X that brings the story of the Smiths back into the spotlight, publishing a list of ten singles by the English band that never appeared on an LP. "Morrissey and Johnny Marr were masters of the standalone single. While many of their best 45s also ended up on landmark albums, some extraordinary tracks remained singles in their own right," the magazine explains in its introduction.
