<Tr> <Td> Allmusic </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <P> "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" was the third single released by Morrissey . It reached number 6 in the UK Singles Chart . The song was not featured on one of Morrissey's main studio albums, but can be found on the compilation album Bona Drag along with the B - side "Lucky Lisp". The artwork for the single features Morrissey, aged 7, up a tree in Chorlton - on - Medlock, Manchester--literally a boy at play . "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" is notable for featuring three of Morrissey's former colleagues in The Smiths--Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce and one - time Smiths rhythm guitarist Craig Gannon--all of whom also appear on the B - side, "Lucky Lisp". </P> <P> The song mythologizes the notorious pair of vicious London gangsters known as the Kray twins (Ronnie and Reggie Kray), who held a tight rein on the East End of London during the 1960s . </P> <P> NME gave the single a negative review, with Stuart Maconie saying the track was "' Panic' without the magnetism and the blinding self - confidence" and finished by saying "I would still chain myself to a disused railway line in Bacup for him, but the lad can do better" However in a retrospective review, Ned Raggett of AllMusic was much more favorable writing "Morrissey's performance is grand and passionate". </P>
