According to the latest newsletter from cherryred.co.uk, one of the label's new releases for March (as part of their Psychobilly Collectors Series) will be a "Rockin’ With Morrissey’s Side Men" collection:

This compilation is a unique idea as the album covers a selection of tracks
featuring the following long time Morrissey band members:

Boz Boorer - was in the brilliant rockabilly band The Polecats, but could also
be often found playing live with The Delta's and The Frantix.

Gary Day - Bass/double bass On the Rockin' Scene Gary Day played on and off in
The Frantic Flintstones, The Sharks and The Nitros (who often recorded as
Colbert Hamilton's backing group). He also recorded as The Gazmen - which was
basically The Sharks with the addition of Morrissey guitarist Alain Whyte.

Alain Whyte - long time Moz collaborator and guitarist was in a few obscure
Rockabilly bands, before teaming up with the Sharks to record as The Gazmen and
then went on to play in and produce Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams.

Johnny Bridgewood - one time Morrissey bassist came from the psycho/garage band
The Stingrays.

The album contains some previously unheard and hard to get tracks and also there
will be detailed sleeve notes and rare pictures.

THE POLECATS - Rockabilly Guy / THE POLECATS - Chicken Shack / FRANTIC
FLINTSTONES - Lunatics Are Ravin’ / FRANTIC FLINTSTONES - Love For A Nutter /
THE SHARKS - Hooker / THE SHARKS - Scratchin’ My Way Out / THE SHARKS -
Surfcaster / THE SHARKS - My Neighbours Garden / THE STINGRAYS - June Rhyme /
THE STINGRAYS - Wedding Ring / THE GAZMEN - Rigormortise Rock / THE GAZMEN - Kid
From Mars / THE GAZMEN - Teenage Operation / THE GAZMEN - Ace Of Hearts /
COLBERT HAMILTON & NITROS - 99 Girls / JOHNNY PANIC - Not Bitter But Bored /
JOHNNY PANIC - Stay With Me / JOHNNY PANIC - Paranoia

  • How great would it have been to have had a track from the Memphis Sinners (Alain, Gary and Spencer's band pre-Th' Lads)? This disc is a GREAT idea.

    Always wanted to hear some of their side projects, but I think I may find myself criticizing if I run into a song I like because "it would have been better suited for Moz" or whatever.

    Wonder why Red Lightning aren't on here.

  • Not Authorized (Score:1, Insightful)

    The Johnny Panic songs on this have not been authorized by Alain Whyte or Ben Gunston.
    There will be an order to cease and desist.
    At a later point well after the release of ROTT
    and Red Lightnings album "Ignore Alien Orders"
    Alain & Ben will discuss terms to release the Johnny Panic material. If you buy this know that you are not supporting the musicians who worked hard to produce this material.
