The Right Stuff (Dub)


"She's mountain high, river deep
The right stuff..."

I always loved the dub of Bryan Ferry's 'The Right Stuff', a track co-written with Johnny Marr in 1987. 'The Right Stuff' started life as 'Money Changes Everything', a Smiths instrumental originally released as the B-side of 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'. Bryan and Johnny sexed-up the earlier track, adding lyrics, female BVs and a clubbier, extended dub produced by Patrick Leonard, who was behind lots of Madonna's hits, including 'Who's That Girl?' and 'Like A Prayer'. I doubt Morrissey was amused.
