As far as you people need to know, there's only one album coming out in the whole of 2007. It's Version by Mark Ronson; 14 good - and considerably less good - songs turned into blazing Motown dancehall stompers by Tom Cruise's favourite DJ, Mark Ronson.

Version by Mark Ronson comes out in about a month, and we've got the DTs just thinking about up. But Mark Ronson, cruel overlord that he is, is throwing us tasters of the album in dribs and drabs. First was his cover version of Toxic by Britney Spears - magically transformed into a horn-drenched anthem featuring verses by Old Dirty Bastard… from beyond the grave. And now we're blessed with Mark Ronson's version of Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before by The Smiths. Retitled Stop Me and featuring the vocal talents of promising newcomer Daniel Merriweather, Mark Ronson has taken all the drama of the original and added strings, an Unfinished Sympathy beat and more splashes of genius than you could possibly wish for. Dislike this one at your peril.
