Morrissey's
Single Life
MORRISSEY will release a box set in June featuring
his first ten singles as a solo artist.
The set, called 'The HMV CD Singles 88-91',
will span the singles Morrissey released between
1988-91, all of which are now deleted in the UK.
Each single will feature the original artwork, and
the set will be housed in a cigarette-shaped box.
The singles featured in the box set are: 'Suedehead',
'Everyday Is Like Sunday', 'The Last Of The Famous
International Playboys', 'Interesting Drug', 'Ouija
Board, Ouija Board', 'November Spawned A Monster',
'Piccadilly Palare', 'Our Frank', 'Sing Your Life'
and 'Pregnant For The Last Time'.
A spokesperson for EMI told nme.com: "We've had
lots of requests from fans to re-release Morrissey's
singles in a set with all the B-sides. We've never
produced a box set so this is an opportunity to give
fans something special. We're considering releasing
a second volume in the future."
The set is released on June 19 through EMI, priced
£30. The singles will also contain all the original
B-Sides.

Please never mention NME again. Never ever.
The NME is the enemy!

It's so obvious that Moz is releasing this material because he needs money to fund his next terrible album. Gee, Moz, I wonder why no record label will sign you?

I highly doubt that Morrissey was even involved in the discussions and decision to release a box set of his old singles. Morrissey doesn't own the publishing rights to his songs, so they can release his old stuff every day whether Morrissey needs money or not. Depending on what kind of deals he signed in the past, it is possible that he doesn't even see any of the proceeds from the sale of the box set. At some point, we'll probably see the entire Morrissey collection on Rhino records. I wish he was releasing a 10 CD box set of all new singles and B sides.
I'm old Morrissey/Smiths fan guy, so give me some candy!!!

Why release this when a 13-single box set has already been released? I just found that one by the way! Now I guess I'll buy this one too. Obsession sucks sometimes.
