There's still no Smiths reunion in sight, but that hasn't stopped the band from issuing a new single.
 
According to True to You, a 7-inch featuring a previously unreleased demo version of "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" on the A-side and "Rubber Ring" on the B-side is set to be released in the near future.
 
An official release date has yet to be revealed, though the 45 is slated to arrive through Warner.
 
The single artwork was designed by Morrissey, with layout help from Darren Evans. It features a photograph of Salford actor Albert Finney, and you can take a look at it up above.
