Sanctuary Record label rumors spread
The Summer Sonic festival news and recent record deal rumor was picked up in Billboard (first with the link is JrMozart: Morrissey, G'N'R Sign On For 'Summer Sonic' (Apr. 26). Excerpt:
Although the artist is rumored to be signing a new contract with Sanctuary, a label spokesperson said no information about a perspective deal could be released.
The rumor was also picked up by playlouder.com: ALONE WITH EVERYBODY: MOZ SIGNED! Hurrah! (Apr. 24) - link from Makaveli. No source was given, I am guessing they took the unconfirmed posting on this site earlier.

Jeremy writes: I went to a Frank Black show the other night here in Little Rock, and his opening act was a girl named Eileen Rose. She is on Rough Trade/Sanctuary Records and after the show I asked her if she knew anything about Morrissey signing to Sanctuary and she said that she had heard about that and believed it to be true.

    and all my hope is gone
  • Sanctuary records is basically a creation of none other than the chaps of Iron Maiden. That is great. Musically, Maiden was incredible....But, do you suppose Moz met with Bruce Dickinson. What would that conversation be like? "Uhmm...hello Mr. Dickinson, I've been meaning to purchase some spandex pants, but wouldn't nearly fill them out as well as you..Do you suppose I could get a pair with flower patterns and the sentence Let the right one slip printed on the side?".
    I'm just kidding.....I think it's great for Moz AND for the Maiden boyz...the hardest working metal band of all time
