Much better cover photo...at least he is clean shaven in this pic!

Love the cover! Can't wait!!!!

Glad to see they at least added something new in thee official release. I think they should have added B-sides with the release; not that I'm complaining. We shouldn't be so choosy. I'm happy with anything. Thanks

what happened to the baby?

WTF??? No extra tracks.....im not going to buy this. This album is not old enough (1997) to need a remastering.

If I remember correctly, there was Morrissey/Boorer demo called "I Know Who I Love" written around this period.

It would've been nice to hear it, but oh well.

and none here. What a waste.

...having Alain and Steve Lillywhite involved adds a patina of legitimacy to the effort, in that people associated with the original album are involved. On the other, would it have been too much to ask for at least Kit and I Know Who I Love? Or, alternately, the six very fine B-sides?

Another misfire, alas.

Cheers,
Jamie

I love how they make such a big deal out of "The project" being "overseen" by Alain Whyte and Steve Lillywhyte.

All they're doing is releasing the exact same album with some different pictures slapped on.

Oh, what a huge "project". It needed a lot of "oversight" from Steve Lillywhyte and Alain Whyte.

And, anyway, I thought it was Morrissey who was supposed to oversee the album art.

If all this "oversight" of this massive "project" of re-releasing an album with a few different pics slapped on also involves remastering (which isn't mentioned here) - why was remastering necessary? The original CD sounds good to me.

Who ever said Alain and Steve Lillywhite overlooked this? Where did this info come from?

Someone explain, please.

Is coming to the Matrix

No thanks, and no way! New cover art, which improves nothing. Morrissey presents: "The Wall, Matrix-style." No good B-sides, no unreleased stuff. I usually don't gripe, but this would only be useful for people who have never heard the original release. "Lost", "I Can Have Both", "Now I Am A Was" "Heir Apparent" - what a missed opportunity.

You know, the remaining CD stores sure would like some QUALITY product to flog. Christmas 2008 should be the final nail in the physical CD stores' coffin.

If you do a Google search, the Wikipedia entry for Maladjusted shows that same artwork and states that the track listing will be the same as the original, but it references the announcement from True To You. As you can see, if you review that tidbit from 10/30, there is NO MENTION of a track listing (expanded or otherwise).

I have to wonder if this is someone taking that data - which could obviously be erroneous or pure supposition - and adding the detail about Lillywhite and Alain. That part would probably be relatively quick to debunk for those who send Alain e-mails on his myspace site.

Something seems fishy about this, as what would be any real enticement for a die-hard to purchase this album w/out at least the inclusion of some of the B-sides?

If the source is reading this, it would be helpful if you chimed in and cited your source(s). If not, I think it could easily be classified as potentially another wind-up.

Cheers,
Jamie

It's not the repackaging of the LP that should come as a surprise - I mean, come one, we all know that this is what Morrissey does. (Even so, the 'Maladjusted' re-release DOES appear to be a bit of a have...)

No, what's more surprising is that Morrissey has approved a photo of himself without his trademark quiff to appear on the cover of a major re-release.

It's really a question of style.

Terence Stomp

"The album features new sleeve artwork by Anthony Lui, including previously unseen photographs by Linder Sterling."

Shots from this photo session, including the cover shot, can be seen at The Harsh Truth Of The Camera Eye at motorcycleaupairboy. So they're not at all unseen, maybe just not widely seen.

If appearance is one of the factors by which this re-release is to be judged - and it certainly isn't to be judged by its tracklisting! - then this release seems even more desperate.

Food for thought.

Does anybody know who that is on the cover?

this album sucks..

I rather liked the green on silver. As for the picture of Morrissey on the front - when I listen to an album, what's on the front cover isn't all that important, although I do think that the covers of Bona Drag, Kill Uncle and the re-issued Viva Hate are all vile. He hasn't really got cover art right post-Smiths, with the odd esception.

I can't see the point of re-releasing Maladjusted without the b-sides.

Lazy, crass, pointless commercialism.

Alain Whyte was not involved in the "re-mastering" of this, that I know for sure...and I doubt Steve Lillywhite was either. This is also probably not the cover for the re-release.

This re-release is a U.K. release. If the U.K. record company didn't want to include "Sorrow Will Come In The End" 10 years ago on the CD for fear of libel then why would they release it now?

I can definitely say this is a hoax. Though, I doubt any extra tracks will be on the actual release anyway seeing as True-To-You didn't state as much for 'Maladjusted' but they did for 'Southpaw Grammar'.

Its a fake!! Stop speculating

Trying to give a more trendy image of Morrissey perhaps? I don't like it at all. It puts me off! It's a good idea to change the cover with the re-editions, but I was expecting something better. I hope the rest of the art work in the inside pages is more connected to Morrissey's image. In any case, I will buy the Alma Matters re-edition just to have the new tracks.

This is obviously b.s.

Who checks the rumours before they get posted on the front page? It seems like any chump with a copy of Photoshop and information from T.T.Y. can get on the front page.

Absolute rubbish.

with a cover that looks mediocre at best (whereas the redesigned «southpaw» looks, although very untypically morrissey-ish, quite stylish and clean, imo), and not including any extra tracks when they certainly exist (or at the very, very least including some b-sides), i find it hard to see how anyone could defend this getting released in the first place. much less how anyone would think it might sell any significant amount of copies.

thank god! the track listing is the same with the original one and I hate the cover photo.

fake, i told you

don't let this happen again, ok?

Dear me, these people here are like hyenas.

serves you right!

I have been visiting this site since the very beginning. It is one of the best sites out there and has stayed that way since 1997. The truth is, I would take this site over the "official" site any day. Sure, sometimes things don't always pan out the way we want them to but at least David tries. Look...he retracts this as a hoax...all taken care of...get over your issues. If you don't want to visit this site, then don't...simple as that. I hope David doesn't feel bad about this because as I said before...shit happens...and so we move on to probably the next crazy thing Morrissey really does...

120 post to reply a fake new

I was holding my tongue on the clumsy, amateurish sleeve, so i'm glad it was juat a hoax.

I'm not too impressed... but will buy the album (or steal) just to see if the instruments are a bit louder and sharper on 'trouble loves me' and 'wide to receive'..... then sell it to a friend who doesn't own the album....it's my way of giving a little Moz to the world.

I actually enjoyed the previous cover art much more.... but the hair in this era has to be my favorite. Can't I have both???

That we still have hope for those 6 bsides...

People on this site are scary.

All this fuss, all this nonsense. It's mad!!!!!

Maybe someone has already said this (too many comments to trawl through for me to check, I'm afraid) - but won't the proof simply be whether a new issue of Maladjusted comes out, or not?...

Or is the argument more about whether the intention was to deliberately deceive?

I don't like all these bad vibes. :-(

And I quite like Maladjusted as an album...

No he isn't. You are a fucking jackass, and you've been doing this kind of thing for years. If you think you've been wronged, go to court. You can't help but lie.

Peter

I blame myself for falling for it and for not spending a few extra minutes checking it.

How is this libel? I just said I did a further check after being alerted to the hoax and found the same IP address was used by your account to comment at around the same time. How do you explain that one?

As to why someone would create a hoax anonymously and then write in claiming it was a hoax, I can only guess lame attention seeking.

I've had my differences with Viva, but whatever. On this subject I must side with him. The moderators and administrators here are totally worthless. They will ban anyone who gets a scoop before they do, or anyone who does not openly express an interest to have Morrissey's cock in their mouth. I, too, have been banned (albeit from the forums) without reason or explanation. When I wrote privately asking (politely) for an explanation, I was ignored.

David is a troll among trolls. Fucking look at him.

Viva may be a prick but he's more sincere, knowledgeable, and unpretentious than 98 percent of the fans on this site.

The people who run this page are sycophantic pussies.

THE BICYCLE TRAGEDY

so is this mozzerian/moby back?

What An Asshole!!! Go Away. You are no longer being agreeable. And that is why you must be put out of your misery
Truly Grow Up Jamie.
and the only reason that you brag about talking to Alain and Boz THROUGH My SPaz Is because you are a kiss ass!AND they do not know the real you. I 2 can go on and tell them what an asshole you are.
But you just need to be put away! Unless you stop this nonsence and come back to reality and stop believeing that everyone is out to get you.
What an fool you are.
a sad pathetic numbnut!

Stop being such foolish man..
And another thing Morrissey has wit! Unlike you that are rude and obnoxiuos mean mean man.!

Jeeeeeez!

Att. David T:
Is there not anything you can do about people like this?

He threatens. Truly you must be careful.
I met Jamie. I went to one of his shows years back.. and he seemed to be a nice guy. Infact he had a lovely girlfirend Black girl.. Lovely little thing. But I guess she dropped him like a hot potatoe.. He has said some awful things and of late said Something On the chatroom and now my journal.. Anonymously of course and he always has.
But It's a long story I have about Jamie. Sad. I really was fooled I thought he was a playful nice guy.
Instead I have found him to be a nutcase.. Truely
Maybe is is on Meth? Something which I do not care about any more.
I just hope he gets help. He has many various names..
Ploppy Pants, whoremoans, and heaven know how many more he has.
I also have looked into Anna. Haha I am at work now doing a little research here. Anna from El Paso is another.
They truely are sad people... Who have caused turmoil hurt feeling and sadness to your site.
Truly I am sad about it.
But It is only a Website. It does not pay my bills.
I have been coming here for my entertainment for many years. I have spoken to many sad people I have met very wonderful Men and women to. Thank you.
Yet, I come on Solo and on every dicussion I see Jamie and Anna, Always talking shit to people riduculing people for their comment instead of being respectful to what they expirienced or believe.
Its happened for years David.
I mean google Anna
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Anna+Broccoli+Spears+Morrissey-solo
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Broccoli+Spears+Morrissey-solo&btnG=Search
you will see that all the people she has talked shit about have slowly moved on.I do keep in touch with a few through Yahoo. Which I am happy about.
I no longer want to participate in any of this childish runaround.So this is the end. I know what these two are like Jamie and Anna I should don't you not agree? I have been coming here to solo almost the whole time you have had this site up:).I've had good times thnak you.
I do not know a few,that seem to be in good with these two numbheads. But It is a sad case that they talk about you as if you have not given and given and given.
I totally respect anything you do It is your page. If you wish for it to be caos then let it be. Who knows it may be for the best.. You have been an awsome Host.
Mr Morrissey should be happy to have such a loyal fan in you.
I mean it has been what 11, 12 years now?
Maybe Solo is going off with a Bang!!Hmm I'd like to know your plans...?
I hope you never get blamed for any of the nonsence.

Grrr.That would make me truly upset to a point. I am to grown up for this nonsence.

Well..
I wish you "Happy Holidays" Keep warm!.
Truly
