Morrissey

For a man who last released a new album in 2009, Morrissey has kept in the public eye quite well since then. A seemingly never ending set of “retro” themed singles, album reissues, that book, and recently, a new 45 and a revamp of 1992’s “Your Arsenal”. Plus, coming soon, a repressing of “Vauxhall And I” and an album of brand new material as well.

It can all be quite confusing trying to keep up, so I thought it would be a good time to try and cover the story so far. The reissue of “Your Arsenal” means the first three (four, if you include singles set “Bona Drag“) albums have all been reissued, meaning the HMV period of his career has now been completely revisited. The article is split into sections - looking at the original album releases, the singles (and associated boxsets), and the retro leaning revamps of the past five years.

The Albums

Morrissey signed to the EMI/Parlophone stable in 1988, releasing his debut LP “Viva Hate” on the HMV label that year. It was later reissued in 1997, in a new sleeve with a selection of bonus tracks sourced from the pool of b-sides Morrissey had dished out early on in his career. The album was promoted by two peerless singles, “Suedehead” and “Everyday Is Like Sunday”.

Morrissey released a series of standalone singles thereafter, and amassed a sizeable bulk of material through these releases. Similar to the “second Smiths album that wasn’t really an album” that was “Hatful Of Hollow”, 1990 saw the release of the magnificent “Bona Drag”, which compiled the five independent A-sides that had followed “Viva Hate”, the two singles from that first LP, and seven selected B-sides. Just like “HOH”, it was a superior album to the one that preceded it, as it was apparent that Moz was tossing away material on flipsides that were better than most people’s A-sides (“Hairdresser On Fire”, “Disappointed”, and the career highlight “Will Never Marry”).

1991 saw the release of “Kill Uncle”, followed by 1992’s “Your Arsenal”, produced by Mick Ronson. It was at this point that the NME started their “is Morrissey racist?” campaign, despite the fact that the album featured the anti-racist track “The National Front Disco”. The situation was fuelled by Morrissey’s appearance at the Madstock festival, where he brandished a Union Jack onstage, although I always viewed this as an attempt to upset the small minority of Madness fans who had latched onto the band during their “semi skinhead” phase in the 70s - it was Madness who had unwittingly garnered a small group of right wing supporters who failed to understand the band’s left wing politics, not Morrissey. When the NME repeated the claims about a decade later, they got taken to court - and lost. The paper later claimed they were “misquoted” each time and never thought Morrissey to be racist in the first place.

A live album culled from December 1992 performances in support of “Your Arsenal” appeared the next year as “Beethoven Was Deaf”, before the next studio album appeared in 1994 on the Parlophone imprint, the critically acclaimed “Vauxhall And I”, rumoured at the time to be Morrissey’s swansong as the lyrics reflected a turbulent time in his life when he lost several people close to him, including Ronson. It wasn’t the end, but Moz was only months away from a change of label.

In the early part of 1995, another stand alone 45 appeared when “Boxers” was issued as the next Morrissey 45. It was later included on the “World Of Morrissey” compilation, a sort of odds and sods round up covering the period post-”Bona Drag”. Thereafter, Morrissey left Parlophone and signed to RCA for the magnificent, but controversial, “Southpaw Grammar” - some fans were baffled at the ’epic’ nature of some of the material, it was an album with only eight songs in total, with two weighing in at over ten minutes in length, but I guess this just appeals to the prog lover in me. I also enjoyed the comic silliness of lead single “Dagenham Dave”, but the NME were in the middle of their hating Morrissey phase, and called it a “tune impaired three minute drone”.

A fortnight after RCA put out the “Boy Racer” single to help plug the LP, Parlophone issued their own stand alone Moz 45, “Sunny”. Despite Wikipedia claiming it to be a “cash in” release, the single did actually appear with Morrissey’s blessing, and he appeared on “Later” plugging both it and the “Southpaw Grammar” record soon after.

In 97, Moz moved to Island for the “Maladjusted” record, a return back to the poppier less prog sounds of the earlier albums, although he was at his most cutting lyrically on this record thanks to “Sorrow Will Come In The End”, written about the legal wranglings he was encountering with some of his ex-Smiths bandmates at the time. In the UK, Island figured it was all a bit too close to the bone, and didn’t include the song on the album at all. Three singles in total were released from the LP, and although the second of these, “Roy’s Keen”, saw Moz booked to perform the song on Top Of The Pops, the single failed to hit the top 40 - at the time, the boundary for which you could or could not appear on the show. As such, the pre-filmed performance was ditched and shoved into the vaults, only getting an airing when wheeled out for a outing on “TOTP2” over a decade later.

Thereafter, Morrissey seemed to end up in the wilderness. There was some talk of a release called “Oye Esteban”, which turned out to be a US only DVD collection of promo clips, and as the nineties went into the noughties, Morrissey seemed to have been cast aside by the industry. However, a series of shows in 2002 saw him still at the top of his game - he toured regularly including in the UK, where in the fall he played two shows at the Albert Hall and a celebratory show at the Brixton Academy, supported by the relatively unknown Libertines, where by now, he was happily shoe horning old Smiths hits into the set - as the fans brandished their flowers, a euphoric air came over the crowd as he climaxed with “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out”. Morrissey may have been dead and buried as far as the record labels and radio stations were concerned, but in the real world, he was still commanding a sizeable and obsessive following.

New songs were tried out on this tour, and eventually, in 2003, Moz signed to the Sanctuary label. Just as he had helped to resurrect the old HMV imprint earlier on in his career, arrangements were made for his next album to appear on the old Attack label, previously known mainly for it’s reggae output. Some wondered if this was the same Morrissey who in Smiths days had claimed reggae was “vile” - it was the same one, but it was also the same Morrissey who had made that comment up purely to agitate the interviewer at the time.

Quite how a relatively small label like Sanctuary put Morrissey back into the public eye in the way they did, I don’t know. Comeback single “Irish Blood English Heart” was as vibrant as anything he had ever done, and gave him a proper hit single, whilst the new album, “You Are The Quarry”, was a stunning return from the wilderness, that in the end, spawned no less than four singles. Each of the singles came laden with multiple bonus tracks, and a later reissue of “Quarry” - in an altered front sleeve - came with a free bonus disc of nine of the flipsides, and previously unreleased (officially) video footage. A live album, “Live At Earls Court”, followed in 2005 - the title shows you the sort of megasized venues Morrissey was now playing, not bad for someone who was still struggling to get radio and TV airtime in the UK.

2006’s “Ringleader Of The Tormentors” carried on where “Quarry” left off, with a quick return to the epic nature of “Southpaw” on the seven minute plus long “Life Is A Pigsty”. In 2008, he moved to Polydor for the career spanning “Greatest Hits”, which included two new songs, “All You Need Is Me” and “That’s How People Grow Up”. Not only were both of these issued as singles, but both were then included on his first Polydor studio record, 2009’s “Years Of Refusal”. Since then, most Morrissey releases have been of the retro variety - the fall of 2009 saw the release of B-sides record “Swords”, and 2011 saw another “hits” set, “The Very Best Of”, released by EMI - but again, on another resurrected label, Major Minor. Moz has also gone back and overseen the reissue of many of his old studio albums, usually revamping the track listings and front cover imagery.

The Singles

In the summer of 2000, EMI put out a box set called “The CD Singles 88-91”, featuring repressings of the first ten Moz solo singles. The track listings were based, in the main, around the original CD Single releases, so all B-sides from the period were present and correct. Placing these releases in context, “Suedehead” and “Sunday” were singles from the first album, discs 3-7 are the stand alone releases later collected on “Bona Drag” whilst discs 8 and 9 are the two singles taken from “Kill Uncle” - “Our Frank” and “Sing Your Life”. Disc 10 was a reissue of 1991’s stand alone rockabilly romp “Pregnant For The Last Time”.

By the end of the year, a second box set covering the “91-95” years was issued. The same format was followed, so once again, all the (EMI) b-sides from the period were present and correct. Disc 1 was a repressing of the stand alone “My Love Life” single, with discs 2-4 being the three singles lifted from “Your Arsenal”, and 5&6 the 45’s lifted from “Vauxhall And I”. Disc 7 was the stand alone collaboration with Siouxsie Sioux, “Interlude”, and disc 8 was the “Boxers” maxi single.

Although this was the point at which Moz moved to RCA, the boxset was designed to collate all the EMI singles, so disc 9 is the post-”Dagenham Dave” EMI single, “Sunny”. A nice touch, in my opinion. Although some of this material had been included on the “Suedehead” best of album issued in the mid 90s, a later 2009 release called “The HMV/Parlophone Singles” compiled everything from these 19 singles onto a single (3 disc) set. Whichever way you go, there really is some essential stuff tucked away on these releases.

As regards the remaining pre-”Wilderness Years” releases, it was usually only the CD editions of these singles that were of interest when first released. “The Boy Racer” appeared on two different CD editions, both with exclusive flipsides, whilst the Island releases also came on 12”, replicating the CD track listings. Once on Sanctuary, the amount of bonus material surfacing was quite significant, with multiple editions surfacing for pretty much each release. Not only did Sanctuary release four singles from “Quarry” but they managed four from “Tormentors” as well.

Once on Polydor, the re-emergence of the 7” was well and truly established, and the singles released during 2008 and 2009 featured new songs spread across multiple formats, usually including two different vinyl editions. Most of Moz’s singles since then have been reissues designed to plug the latest revamped album re-release, with the only “new” singles since then being 2011’s “Glamorous Glue” (a US single originally, but not a UK one - released to plug “The Very Best Of“) and this year’s "Satellite Of Love".

The Reissues

Now, given that I had mostly all of the Morrissey studio albums by the time he started reissuing them, I will be honest - I don’t really have many of these revamps. But it makes sense to detail what they are, so that when my sister wins the lottery, she can give me £50 to go and get the ones I am currently missing.

The albums were not reissued in the same order in which they were originally released. So it started in April 2009 with the reissue of 1995’s “Southpaw Grammar”. Housed in a new cover, and with a typeface designed to look like another RCA record (Bowie’s “ChangesOneBowie” compilation from 1976), the original eight track album was rejigged into a new running order, and joined by four new songs - namely three outtakes and “Dagenham Dave” b-side “Nobody Loves Us”.

Issued the same day was a reissue of the 1997 Island outing “Maldajusted”, which again featured a revamped track order. All the B-sides from the period were included, including “I Can Have Both”, “This Is Not Your Country” and “The Edges Are No Longer Parallel”, all previously only available on the 12” and CD editions of their relevant 45 releases. However, two tracks from the original were removed, including “Roy’s Keen”, which seemed like an odd move.

“Bona Drag” was up next, in 2010, with a new “gothic” style sleeve. The “coloured in” original sleeve was now printed in a more sombre tone - basically the original photograph untouched - with the title in a rather fancy font. The original album was kept intact, but with six bonus tracks added, whilst four of the existing songs appeared in a slightly different mix to their 1990 originals. “Will Never Marry”, edited down from the original single release to fit onto the LP originally, remained edited. “Everyday Is Like Sunday” was reissued as a single to coincide, with new B-sides and in a new cover.

2012 saw a reissue of “Viva Hate”, returning the album to it’s original cover photo from the 1997 repressing, but with a further use of the “gothic” style typeface for the album title. Again, there has been some messing about - “The Ordinary Boys” was removed in favour of a previously unheard outtake, along with an extended fade now found on “Late Night Maudlin Street”. “Suedehead” was reissued in a ‘Mael Mix’ on 10” to coincide.

2013 brought a repressing of “Kill Uncle”, in a completely new sleeve. The version of “There’s A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends” is an alternate take, whilst two extra tracks have been added. Although pre-dating the original release of this album by a good two years, “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys” was reissued to coincide. This year saw the revamp of “Your Arsenal”, complete with a previously unissued concert on the accompanying DVD. “Tomorrow” appears in it’s ’US Mix’, whilst the forthcoming “Vauxhall“ generally leaves the original album intact, opting simply for a “smoothing over“ of the front cover, and a stack of bonus live tracks.


Discography

The usual words of explanation. Given that more or less every Moz album has been reissued at least once in one form or another, I have - where they exist - listed the original CD pressing, followed by any repressingss or reissues. Some of the first pressings are essential, some are not and vice versa.

For the singles, I have listed all formats of interest - for the EMI singles from 88-95, I have listed all variants on the basis that all of the B-sides can be found on the “HMV/Parlophone” triple disc release, although I would suggest you try and track down the two boxsets that cover this period, as they tick all the boxes in two quick hits. The Island era singles are also listed on all formats, given that all the B-sides are now on the current version of “Maladjusted”.

Of the five recent singles, where the release was a reissue of an existing Moz UK 45, I have listed details of the reissue alongside the details of the ORIGINAL pressing, so that if you do buy the 3 disc set, then it will be easier for you to work out where to go next. As for the singles from “Quarry”, the nine b-sides that were generated from the first three 45s off that album were later included on an essential reissue of the album, so I have listed all the formats for those, as all are now of equal importance.

“Swords” managed to include a number of B-sides not previously rehomed, and I have detailed where notable flipsides were included where relevant. Some Moz singles, now containing nothing rare, are still listed on the basis of the artwork being either different or unique, but it’s up to you what you hunt down. A handful of 7” singles exist with essential B-sides missing, so these are omitted completely in the interests of clarity.
