Morrissey’s barefaced cheek
posted by davidt on Tuesday February 05 2008, @12:00PM

 MOJO Maven writes:
MOJO mag just got sent a finished copy of the Greatest Hits album. It features a photograph of Morrissey’s bare bottom, with the words YOUR ARSE AN’ ALL written on it.

Excerpt:

THE MOJO OFFICE is still reeling after opening our CD copy of Morrissey’s Greatest Hits album to find this photograph (left). And just in case there was any doubt as to the ownership of the derrière in question, the sleevenote credits the pic thus: “Morrissey’s arse photographed by Jake Walters”.

Uncut reviews Greatest Hits (3 stars)
posted by davidt on Tuesday February 05 2008, @12:00PM

 Edna Welthorpe (Mrs) sends the link/excerpt:

MORRISSEY - GREATEST HITS - review by STEPHEN TROUSSÉ, Uncut (3 stars)

"The endless tours of the last few years really just confirm that by now Morrissey is deep into his Vegas period. Once upon a time he was the Complete Pop Artist with a neurotically perfectionist focus on every detail. The bland title and ten-year old photo of this new collection feel like the final confirmation that his focus is no longer there."

I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
