"Piccadilly Palare" came out as a Morrissey single on His Master's Voice in October 1990, his words set to music by guitarist Kevin Armstrong. It carries a bit of history in its bass line: Andy Rourke, his old colleague from the Smiths, plays it, and it proved to be the last time any former Smith would work with Morrissey. Rourke also co-wrote and played on the B-side, "Get Off the Stage".
Suggs, formerly the lead singer of Madness, chimes in on backing vocals, and Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley produced, with Stewart Day assisting on the engineering. The single got to 18 in the UK and 5 in Ireland.
