John Porter also receives some credits on works by The Smiths

[edit]

According to All Music (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=33:hxfrxzlrldje) John Porter has a writing credit on The Smiths song 'Panic', found on the album 'The World Won't Listen'.

He also gets a credit for 'Money changes everything' on the same album. I can't find my CD copy of 'The World Won't Listen' so I can't check the sleeve notes.

Perhaps if somebody does have a copy to hand they could look into this?

No idea what other Smiths songs he may have a credit on. According to the mp3 tagging that Windows Media Player does, none.

I think Allmusic is simply wrong, I've checked the sleeve notes and those songs are credited to Morrissey and Marr only. I have "Panic" on 4 different albums and it's always Morrissey/Marr credited only. All original Smiths songs are Morrissey/Marr except the instrumentals which are Marr. Allmusic isn't the most accurate of sites. Grievous Angel (talk) 17:35, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

John Porter is an alias of John Punter (real name)

[edit]

This entry on John Porter should be added to the one about John Punter, the real name of 'John Porter'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.96.196.122 (talk) 19:40, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
