how briliant it would be if he starts playing Speedway,late night Maudlin street and I want the one I can't have again!

  My only mistake is am hoping......

one new song n live b sides from 2002???? come on i was at this concert n great gig great set list so why not just release a live cd from it instead of one song on this single n another on the gatefold version .. obviously hasnt got enough faith in the quality of the a side so we have to buy 3 different formats for one new song in a desparate bid to scrape to top 56

please tell me Speedway is back! omg do it for Julia! she'll always stay true to you!

7¡å Limited Gatefold
Side A
1. I Just Want To See The Boy Happy

Side B
1. Speedway (recorded live from The Royal Albert Hall ¨C 2002)
Why this?

Two exlusive vinyl tracks? so antique i don't even have a turntable.
I hate THIS.

7¡å Limited Picture Disc
Side A
1. I Just Want To See The Boy Happy

Side B
1. Late Night, Maudlin Street (recorded live from The Royal Albert Hall ¨C 2002)

either that's a current picture photoshopped like never before to make Moz look young, or that picture is 5 years old at least.

Do I hear the scraping of the barrel? More live b-sides that we can easily live without. And I am a die-hard fan, so I can not imagine this single getting into the charts. Morrissey should have the decency to include the sound of cash registers ringing as an intro to each single. Does anyone remember the days when we looked forward to new singles, with b-sides too good to believe? Perhaps I should collapse onto my pile of Cure, Smiths, and early Moz 12" and ask myself why do singles now have weak songs and even worse covers. ACTON

does Sanctuary even have access to live recordings done in 2002? And why skip this tour and the last just to delve that far back to bring us....Late Night on Maudlin Street.

Royal Albert hall 2002-Moz sang Late Night, Maudlin Street, Speedway, and I Want The One I Can't Have! Now that is a Morrissey-worthy setlist! I only wish I was there!

broken

BLOODY MAUDLIN STREET!!!

Although Speedway live is a nice touch, and a new B-side. But of course, the superfans on here will think they deserve more? God, be happy with this, it's rather a good offering in my book!

Won't believe until it's on TTY.

No need to buy any of these. I'm sure they've got a ROTT platinum edition lined up for the new year.

Sweetie-Pie? Anyone have more information?

I like the picture, it conveys the parental anxiety in the song with panache, but what is he holding in his hand?

It's a surprise that recordings from 2002 are being included that we haven't heard on the ROTT tour, but surely that's an extra boon for many of us who missed those releases.

Perhaps he'll explain in the next Questions and Answers which presumably is still open. In any case when your favourite artist swills a new release, it's time to retrieve champagne from the cellor and put it in ice. : )

Hello ...?!

This posting is a hoax.

david tseng fucks it up again. another hoax post passed off as fact.
tseng should be banned from all future moz shows.
ask yourself this you fucking clowns, why would mox put a smiths song on the b side and have to split the money with johnny marr?
there are gonna be some red faces round here when julia posts the real single info.
fools.

Who was the genius who selected a picture of Morrissey burping? Heck, why would the photographer even consider taking a horrible picture like that? That's not a good pose at all.

Yes !

If you like Dead Kennedy's check out LARDS "Last Temptation of Reid" and "Pure Chewing Satisfaction" ... They also have 2 EP's "The Power of Lard" and "70's Rock Must Die".

JEllo also released 2 albums with the Melvins recently... "Never Breathe What You Can't See' is his best work since DK's. Hopefully this message reaches you in time !!!!

Please Lord !!!! Ps - Morrissey is Very Talented.

Firstly, the cover and tracklisting might be fake but let's presume not.

The B-Sides aren't bad at all. A new song - lovely, and B-sides that are clearly rendered to a fan's liking. Maudlin Street!! Let's be honest, who saw that coming? It's a toast to memories and a signal that Moz knows many of us have been around the block.

I think it's all positive. Let's assume there are no other new songs from the ROTT sessions aside from this one. So we get that. Maybe it's great?!

  It's a new Moz single that gives us hopefully great live tracks of songs we hold dear.

I Want The One I Can't Have was the opener at that gig and therefore a nice way to crank up the volume the remember the excitement. As well as walking around pretending to be Morrissey at the start of a show....

Just me on that one then.

Rubbish choice of single, but maybe a great new song (it's happened before) and a lovely choice of live B-sides, even if we will have to blow dust off the turntable. They'll be downloadable here within an hour anyway...

Imagine if we'd been this bitchy in 1994.... He releases The More You Ignore Me with one (great) B-side in the shape of I'd Love To and A SONG THAT WAS ON THE DAMN FORTHCOMING ALBUM (Sweet Boy).

Times have improved!

I'll buy it.

Thank you very much...:)
Its Great!

More live b-sides, surprise surprise! Morrissey sure is getting lazy in his old age. Live b-sides are SO boring and he's done them to death.

Morrissey sure has lowered his standards when it comes to releasing singles. He's gone from meticulous genius to lazy and predictable.

Is it an Eddie Cochran cover?

Do NOT order from www.recordstore.co.uk

They ship in basically a thing piece of cardboard, barely thicker than paper, folder over like a taco.

Your 7" sleeves WILL be creased and CD case will probably be cracked.

You can ask for a replacement and complain about the shipping practice, and they'll send it in the exact same manner, and you'll have another creased sleeve.

Hey, nice cover, jaja, very, very nice! quite different from the others, original... well, in resume... i'ts Morrissey!

Well, I JUST WANT TO SEE THE BOY HAPPY is not one of my favourites (Life Is A Pigsty single prefered) but, oh well! nice cover

Young Married Couple in Debt Ever Felt... Milked ?

Why are people complaining about Morrissey releasing a 4th single?

If you're fans, surely you want to hear the new Bside - and possibly the live tracks as well?

That alone means this release is worthwhile.

If you don't want to buy the whole single to get the Bside, well luckily these days you don't have to, just download it off itunes (or another download service) for 79p. Sorted.

And even if you don't want the Bside, then the release hardly affects you, does it? A lot of people want to hear the new track so just shut up about it.

Moz, I love you as always!
I want to know where you're going after
"at last I am born"
so
"Ringleader of the tormentors"
is not finished in my heart.
You must tell me next time we see each other.

Y'know, songs that weren't on albums : (

New Morrissey single. Cool Roxy-inspired song (which really came into its own in live) and two bonafide Morrissey classics performed live (both voted Top 10 Moz tracks of all time on here).

Don't take it for granted...It May All End Tomorrow (and won't go on forever).

when we didn't get a single new song. Just an ageing back-catalogue.
So it's cool that another new song is about to be released even if it is called Sweety Pie!

But the smiths were doing the same thing also.

There is an unmitigated welcome from some of us for probably one of the most interesting single mixes in ages. Not wanting to feel left out of the crescendo of dreary wailing however, here is my contribuation accordingly:

Slough -
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!

Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.

Mess up the mess they call a town-
A house for ninety-seven down
And once a week a half a crown
For twenty years.

And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:

And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.

But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It's not their fault that they are mad,
They've tasted Hell.

It's not their fault they do not know
The birdsong from the radio,
It's not their fault they often go
To Maidenhead

And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren't look up and see the stars
But belch instead.

In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
And paint their nails.

Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.
The cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.
        - John Betjeman

Will Boz and Alain's playing be able to stand up there with Vini's on 'Late Night, Maudlin Street'?

Even Marr couldn't play as good as Reilly. And Marr is a fantastic guitarist too!

This "news" has now been taken down from the MOZ blog perhaps Morrisseys lawyers are on the case.

Interesting name for a song...I wonder already about its contents, and what it promises...Actually, this is what keeps me going, buying all these scattered songs in singles, and playing Sanctuary's game, and paying for a single what a whole CD costs...only because it's Moz, and they know we all fall for this tricherie because we love him enough to fall for it...I love each picture from each single, it delights me, it's like the picture of the handsomest boyfriend abroad waiting for me to join him in Venice (silly, helpless, but Moz is my everlasting crush, and $ancuary's eternal profit$$).

However, I feel tempted sometimes to burn all these singles into one CD and to paste all those pictures into one little nice booklet; since Mrs. $anctuary was not pious enough to bless us with this so needed gift... Or at least with an extra free CD shelf or Ipod or something!

Why hasn't david t updated the story to include the fact that the "mozblog" has now been deleted, which gives even further indication that this "story" is a hoax. Why david?

Most of the MORRISSEY covers look like an intern designed them. At least the Smiths covers had some sort of thought process or meaning behind them. Maybe Moz doesnt really care as much as he use to. Obviously he cares abou thte music, but it seems like the artwork doesnt live up to the artestry of his music.

now, there has been much retribution about the single tracks being live ones for the last 2 singles ,including this one .
but could it be that el mozzer doesn't want to hand anymore quality songs that sprung from the tormentor sessions (according to tony visconti they had to choose,check the news archive) over to sanctuary as he is ready to jump off?
after 'the youngest was the most loved' didn't chart as expected and that harsh mail by moz himself, after the rumours of him leaving sanctuary together with merck mercuriadis as manager , i truelly think that morrissey is fulfulling obligations to sanctuary , giving fans the odd new bside , graciously , while sanctuary fills up the formats with whatever is at hand.
oh, and i only suppose this , so do not take it as written in stone, please.

In a perfect world.... Well, since we all can't be pleased with the single / cover / accompanying tracks choice, then let's spend on energies on wondering what the 5th single will be.

a picture disc, well as a vinyl junkie, excellent, this is a first for morrissey, excellent news, they sell well also

Vinyl? Three formats of one single (and possibly the worst track on the album, at that, as the polls indicate).

I do hope it's a hoax.

I Just Want To See the Boy Happy will be released on cassette as well.

A side: I Just Want To See the Boy Happy (live)
B side: Head cleaner (with free fluid)

You have hoaxed ne, you have hoaxed me

The standard, once so lofty, of Morrissey's sleeve artwork, has dropped alarmingly.

Virtually EVERY Smiths cover was a work of art. 'Strangeways...' maybe being the exception. The original Harvey Keitel photo would have made a far greater cover.

Morrissey's early solo covers worked brilliantly in establishing Morrissey as a visual icon, very much an object of beauty.
But....somewhere around 'Southpaw Grammar' it all started going wrong. The cover for 'Southpaw...' is appalling, but worse was to come. 'Maladjusted' came housed in the most uninspiring cover ever! Awkward poise and atrocious pullover. Around the same time came the sleeve for the live video 'Introducing Morrissey' which features, in my opinion, the worst photograph of Morrissey EVER!!!! A photo in which he looks...dare one say it...ugly!
The absolute low-point must have been the 'Dagenham Dave' cover though, with the appalling artwork and the crappy photo of Terry Venebales. Where did it all go wrong?

His recent artwork hasn't been bad. All the sleeves for the YATQ and ROTT albums and accompanying singles have been okay.

But why should we accept 'okay' from an artist whose artwork had once been MERCURIAL?

It wont work for me?

Can all three still be ordered for £5?

If so where from.
Thanks

are two of my all-time favourite Morrissey songs, I can't believe the live versions of them are only being released on the 7"! Unbelievable!
