Morrissey Is In Saudi Arabia!!

forum member "lucky lisp" took the photo at Manchester Airport. There's a note that he was travelling to Saudi Arabia.

It was Uncle Skinny/Peter who set me on the trail of the current edition, released today, of Hot Press, Irish music magazine, by his mention of a rumoured review on the forums of Morrissey’s Greatest Hits album therein. I hardly dare compete with Peter’s revered scanner, but needs must!

This exuberant almost surreal ode of righteous (and gloriously riotous) appreciation take up about half of page 95, and features both the picture on the album cover, plus a merge into that of Morrissey eating ice-cream as on the single sleeve for ‘In the Future when All’s Well’, with ‘Modern Life is War’ scrawled on the wall behind him.

The headline is ‘Mozza Superior’ – Morrissey, Greatest Hits, Universal: Ten/Ten.

A Decca promo card to promote Morrissey's latest 'Greatest Hits', can be found in major italian record stores.
Scans:

Frieze, an arts magazine, in March copy includes a bit of 'Morrissey arcana' in the review of Devine and Griffiths CD 'Wheels to Get to Heaven'.
Don't think the review is online, but its in Borders. I can't scan it becoz I didn't buy it - nearly six pounds.

Journalist Paul Linford has a blog where he’s recently been pondering on the music that most evokes Englishness. His list, posted on 15th February, includes "William It was Really Nothing" by The Smiths.

The story of the image

“A sweeter set of photos were never taken”
  MORRISSEY - Boxing day 1985

This image was taken with my first Nikon, as a Smiths fan and novice photographer. The film was processed in chemicals kept in old lemonade bottles in a darkroom built into my bedroom and its both warming and funny that 20 years later it’s known all over the world.

I am still so pleased that I got given this opportunity when really it was a job that should have gone to someone like Anton Corbijn, Pennie Smith or Annie Liebovitz.

It’s part of the National Portrait Collection and there’s a large print in the Manchester Art Gallery which sits in a pool of light recapturing the finest band of an era at their peak- I’ve sat on a little bench next to it peering at it and smiled a little as when I turn my head I see a Lowry further down the wall.

When I look at the photo now, I remember fondly seeing the Smiths play live –the elegance, excitement and the irony; all set to the perfect jangle of Marr’s guitar.

The image itself is strangely casual and natural - Morrissey’s smirk is a little like the Mona Lisa’s and Andy Rourke looks as if he has a small rabbit stuffed down his jeans. It was shot on a dark winter day in Salford – no make up artists or assistants, yet I’m pleased to hear people like it still. Perhaps it’s always the music of our youth that gives us the warmth of nostalgia.
