Billy Fury is the cover star for The Smiths' last single. In a 1984 interview Morrissey included Billy Fury's singles in his brief collection of most treasured people and possessions.

The young Elvis Presley photographed by James R. Reid, his hairdresser, in 1955. This was his first ever press shot.

The cover star is Richard Bradford, from the 1967 ATV series 'Man In A Suitcase', in which he played a dismissed CIA agent working for hire in London, living out of his suitcase.

The album widely heralded as The Smiths at their peak.
The 'Cover Star' is Alain Delon in the 1964 film 'L'Insoumis'.

The cover star is an unknown model from Margaret Walters' book
'The Nude Male', photographed by Jim French.

The poster for the band's debut release is extremely scarce, and this is the first we've ever been able to offer for sale.

Unusually two different posters were printed to promote the single. This is the scarcer version reproducing Morrissey's hand written lyrics.

Morrissey took the famous image of a determinedly non-Aquarian young Vietnam 'grunt' (from Emile de Antonio's 1969 anti-war film 'In the Year of the Pig') whose helmet bore the words "Make War Not Love" and replaced them with a message of his own.

The cover star is distinguised comedienne and actress Avril Angers (who Morrissey admired) in the 1966 film 'The Family Way', a late Boutling Brothers comedy with a working class Bolton setting. Paul McCartney composed the soundtrack.

Jurgen Volmer's photographs of Hamburg's young Rock scene in the early 60s - most famously of the Beatles - won him Lennon's and McCartney's enduring admiration, and clearly that of Morrissey too. The pictures were published in his 1981 book 'Rock'n'Roll Times: The Style and Spirit of the Early Beatles and Their First Fans'.

This rare photograph of James Dean was taken in 1948 by his friend Nelva Jean Thomas in his hometown Fairmount, Indiana. Dean is riding his first motorcycle, a 1947 Czech Whizzer, bought for him by his uncle Marcus.

Here the 'Cover Star' is actor Richard Davalos in 'East Of Eden', chosen after Harvey Keitel declined the honour.

The cover star is Truman Capote.
One of the hardest in the series to find.

The album cover is Terence Stamp in the 1965 film 'The Collector'. Stamp objected to his photograph being used and Morrissey had to recreate the shot for further pressings.

The cover star is Jean Marais in Jean Cocteau's 1949 film 'Orpheé'. Of their famous Top Of The Pops performance, Noel Gallagher said: "None of my mates liked them, they were more hooligan types...but I thought it was life-changing." The poster, the only one designed in horizontal format, is very hard to find.

The cover star is actress Alexandra Bastedo, from TV's 'The Champions'. This poster's beautiful silvered finish delighted Morrissey. The picture is taken from John D Green's best selling 1967 photo book, which sports the period-piece title 'Birds of Britain'.

The cover star is Joe Dallesandro from the 1968 film 'Andy Warhol's FLESH', directed by Paul Morrissey. Morrissey drew again from Warhol's misfit 'superstar' crowd for 'Sheila takes A Bow'.
