So Young (The Stone Roses Song)
"So Young" is the debut single by The Stone Roses. A doom-laden affair, it was largely unsuccessful and was later disowned by the band. At this point Brown had yet to develop his trademark delivery and had a shouty, in-your-face style, and the rest of the band had not yet found the groove that was to characterise what is considered by many to be their best material. Some accounts state that it is a double 'A' side with "Tell Me".
Both songs appear on a two-track CD as part of the Compact Disc Singles Collection, an 8 CD collection of the bands CD singles released by Silvertone in 1992
Both songs also appear on the Stone Roses un-official 1996 release Garage Flower.
"So Young" was originally called "Misery Dictionary" but the band changed the name of the song to make it sound less morbid and because they did not want people to think that they were influenced by The Smiths who had a song with a similar name.
The front cover was achieved by John Squire smashing an old transistor radio and then glueing all the parts together.
