Sheila Take A Bow

"Sheila Take a Bow" is a song by The Smiths. It was released as a single in April 1987, reaching #10 in the UK Singles Chart, their highest chart placing in their career. It was one of the band's many "between album" singles (the last of four in a row), not having natural home on any of the studio albums. It was, however, featured on the Louder Than Bombs compilation released later in the year. The single's two b-sides, Peel Session versions of "Is It Really So Strange?" and "Sweet And Tender Hooligan" also featured on Louder Than Bombs. A German CD was issued with the tracks from the UK 12" as well as "Panic" and the tracks from the UK 12" for previous single "Shoplifters of the World Unite". The seven tracks on this CD make up the first seven tracks on Louder Than Bombs. The single's cover features actress Candy Darling from the film Women in Revolt (1971). Candy Darling was a transwoman and part of Andy Warhol's entourage. [Read more on Last.fm](http://www.last.fm/music/The+Smiths/_/Sheila+Take+a+Bow).
