Johnny Marr recently posted on his Web site about interviews he has conducted with Word and Q/Mojo regarding The Smiths' legacy, as some of you probably noticed. He also made mention of the fact that he agreed to an interview with journalist/critic Simon Goddard for a revised version of "The Songs That Saved Your Life." I took the liberty of writing Reynolds & Hearn, Goddard's publisher, about the revisions, and here is what they wrote back:
"Thanks for your message. Johnny Marr has indeed spoken to Simon Goddard for the new edition of 'The Smiths: Songs That Saved Your Life'. The book already contains exclusive interview material with Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, so three pout of four isn't bad! The new edition also contains material from Craig Gannon and John Porter. You can find details at our website.
The book is scheduled for publication in August."
Porter's and Gannon's comments about the songwriting process should be interesting because of their notably contentious relationships with Morrissey. I'm hoping more is written about the recording and subsequent remixing of "Ask," as I thought Goddard's original study of this left quite a few questions unanswered.
