John Porter also receives some credits on works by The Smiths

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)

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]
