Bad timing; will dilute impact of YOR (Score:0)
the three new songs may also make for unflattering comparisons with the YOR stuff (e.g. "even the Southpaw offcuts seem good compared with the new stuff")
still, I'm glad it's coming out...

The cover is solid - and it's a solid sounding album - so that works.
The photo is ace.
The album is good. Three new tracks very welcome too.
The crucial thing is, is this a re-issue or a re-master? I'd be interested to know what they've done with the sound if it's the latter, but how much involvement has Moz or Steve Lillywhite had?
Oh, and I'm a bit lost and behind the times... Which label is releasing Years Of Refusal now?

I love this album. Looking forward to the new tracks.

I hope that they sort out the inner booklet as well as just the cover. It is always nice to have the lyrics and other pics as well. The original sleeve was quite bizarre, it only had the words to 'The Teachers are afraid of the Pupils' and no other pictures. It is not surprising that Mozzer is not so keen on the artwork, etc. of this album!
If I remember rightly, the guy who did the original sleeve is interviewed on that strange 'Jewel in the Crown' DVD.

Are there obvious candidates that have been 'doing the rounds' so to speak. Hmm and please Morrissey can you squeeze in 'Nobody Loves Us'?
Things can only improve.

No southpaw re-release after all.
No live at the Hollywood Bowl DVD after all.
And no re-arranged Roundhouse shows either.
2008 is a debt which must be written-off in the World of Morrissey...in my book anyway.

To continue with the Bowie comparisons, the typography and red/black colour scheme seem to be a direct reference to Bowie's 'CHANGESONEBOWIE'.

Although it's not going to seem like a complete package without the b-sides on there. 'You Must Please Remember' is a great song. Maybe they've tacked the B-sides on as well

It'll all be for nought unless they've done a sweet remastering job on it.
For those of you who don't like the cover by the way: all you need to do is switch the new booklet & sleeve for the old one & just pretend the extra tracks are 'hidden bonus tracks'

I remember purchasing my CD copy in one of the larger HMV stores for a whopping nineteen quid. Worth it though.
Hell, I even like Maladjusted an awful lot; I think on the whole it's a fantastic album. I don't feel I can say this without a lot of people writing back to tell me I'm talking bollocks.
Anyway, I hate comparing Moz to my other favourite band of the era, the Cure. But personally I can't help but feel an insy, winsy but short changed because their back catalogue is being released splendidly, with a whole second disc of unreleased tracks, demos, live versions et al. But something inside me says that this wouldn't be much of interest to Morrissey solo fans. I think the Smiths instrumental demos and versions are more of interest to the hardcore fanbase - is anyone really that bothered about instrumental Moz stuff?

I know the new crop of Moz fans who are all about little more than celebrity worship just want pics of Moz.
I don't like this idea of re-inventing albums over a decade after they were released. "Southpaw Grammar" was what it was. Take it or leave it. Don't re-invent it. Concentrate on the new album and let the albums of the past be what they were.
Ad if this is a pic by Jake, one has to start wondering if Morrissey is trying to get back with that dude. He subjected us all to that very intimate photo in the greatest its CD. Some things are better left for your eyes only, Morrissey.
If he wanted to put out songs that were previously unreleased, he should've scrapped that pointless greatest hits CD and released a CD of unreleased material.
