Sally Cinnamon is a non-album single released by the band the Stone Roses in 1987.
The song is the second single to be released by The Stone Roses, and was released before Mani joined the band. It is the first single by the Stone Roses to feature their classic sound. Although pre-Mani, the melodies and choral refrain are in the same vein of the those recorded with the classic line-up. The lyrics were written entirely by Ian Brown, who wrote the majority of the lyrics on the early Roses tracks.
The single entered the UK Indie Chart in June 1987, spending thirty-nine weeks in the chart in total, peaking at number three.[1] When re-released in 1989 it entered the UK Singles Chart where it spent seven weeks, peaking at number 46.[2]

Following the band's success in 1989, their former label, FM Revolver, re-released the single "Sally Cinnamon". Not only did they put out a previously unreleased outtake of the title track, they did also piece together an accompanying video. The Stone Roses were incensed by this, particularly what they described as a "third rate" video. They went to Revolver's offices on 30 January 1990 and after an argument with the label's boss, Paul Birch, threw paint over the offices, Birch himself and his girlfriend, and then vandalised two cars outside. They were subsequently arrested and tried, and in October they were found guilty and fined £3,000 each plus costs.[3]
