Les Inrockuptibles reports Sanctuary has confirmed Morrissey deal
posted by davidt on Wednesday January 22 2003, @09:00AM

Les Inrockuptibles (French magazine) announced that Sanctuary has confirmed the information at the MIDEM in Cannes ( France).

Morrissey has finally signed a contract with Sanctuary for a "LONG TERM" collaboration.

La foire à la musique du Midem - by David Glaser, Les Inrockuptibles (Jan. 21, 2003)

    Le label anglais a entamé le mois dernier des discussions avec Morrissey. Mais si les conditions pour accueillir le huitième album du Mancunien (Irish Blood, English Heart) semblaient idéales, la rumeur d’il y a six mois de la signature de Morrissey sur le label Sanctuary Records a finalement été confirmée au stand du Midem de la maison de disques anglaise.

                  They being Morrissey's preferred voice to the French public during his early '90s prominence. I would hold much more stock in them reporting this than the News of the World.

                  Of course, there are still details missing. Guess we'll see if one of Morrissey's payroll sends David a message to retract in the next few days!

                  Could any of our French friends here enlighten us as to what the MIDEM is? An industry showcase?

                    It does seem strange that this should be publicised through a stand at a music fair - by the people who happened to represent Sanctuary at the fair (unlikely to be top people) to French music journalists - who interestingly do not seem to recognize their scoop (or this would at least have been given its own article).

                    After some consideration, I think - though I could be wrong - that this is just an extension of the usual rumour (which will probably turn out to be true one day).

                    The only thing that really suggests otherwise is that David has chosen to bring it here. Why bother bringing up the same rumour yet another time?

                      BUT... should this turn out to be true and the songs are recorded... we could have a shiny new Moz album on uor hands as early as... what?? June?

                      And remember June is Glastonbury and the last night Michael Eavis always has an older act on as opposed to modern chart acts. Last year Rod Stewart, in 2000 it was Bowie. Who's to say it couldn't happen?

I don't believe it. Morrissey will get a deal when he wants one, and when he tires of playing the victim card - he remains his own worst enemy. But perhaps this rumor is true, and Morrissey has gotten all possible mileage out of the "prophet without honor in his own land (industry?)" thing. Then he'll be ready to go, as will I. I scold because I care.
