Rhino UK writes:Hi There I hope you don't mind me submitting this as a story but i thought you would like to know that the full details and artwork for The Smiths Singles Box has now been posted on rhino.co.uk. The box will be available in UK stores from 8th December but will be shipping from Rhino.co.uk 3 weeks early on the 17th November. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or queries. Many Thanks Singles & Box press release Singles Boxset
www.rhino.co.uk offer: Get the Singles Box first from Rhino.co.uk! Not only will be shipping from 17th November, 3 weeks before it hits the shops, but the first 100 orders of the Singles Box will come with a free promo-only CD single of This Charming Man AND be entered into a draw to win a print of the cover image!
Rhino UK are proud to present “Singles Box”: a clamshell card box card box containing the first ten UK-issued singles in their original picture sleeves. What makes this particularly special is the two singles which are exclusive to this box set: These unique inclusions are the projected fourth single - “Still Ill” (which was pressed only as DJ promo “A” label) but was ultimately passed over and replaced by “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” along side the Dutch release of “The Headmaster Ritual” housed in it’s black & white “cowboy” sleeve – the rarest commercially issued Smiths’ single in any territory.
The box is completed with four contemporary badges, a poster featuring the single artworks as well as an authentication certificate that contains a unique redemption code for mp3 downloads of the tracks.
An absolute must have item for Smiths‘ fans, and limited to 10,000 copies only. All singles utilise the original production masters from the period.
The front cover image of the box was personally chosen by Morrissey. It features Joel Fabiani from the 1969 TV series "Department S", starring Peter Wyndgarde, Joel Fabiani and Rosemary Nicols.

Update: 10/11 14:49 GMT: An anonymous person notes in the comments the boxset is available for pre-order at Amazon.co.uk with a larger scan of the sleeve (uploaded here).

CJ also writes:Jim White of the Daily Telegraph reports that former Smiths-frontman Morrissey now supports Millwall FC. It suggests that he was spotted in LA sporting a Millwall shirt with 'mobster' printed on, and then proceeded to contact club officials to inquire about attending their home fixture against Leeds.l Also on BBC Sport Football Gossip. ---
Tearsofbemusal also writes:According to today's Daly Telegraph, Moz has been swanning around LA sporting a Millwall FC shirt, adorned with the word 'Mobster' on the back. They suggest that he's become an overnight supporter, but is it a nod to the Krays? I know that a Millwall mention appears in the Playboys video. I dunno... ---
An anonymous person also writes:...Leeds v Millwall 'was' a fixture between two of the most hated clubs in the country, both clubs with reputation for violent fans.

JakeWalters.com update
Just stopped by http://jakewalters.com
and there have been a couple of Morrissey photographs added. One you know (cover of 'That's How People Grow Up' cds/7"#1) and one you don't (a shot of Moz with Kate Mozzz naked driving in his car.......it's not what you think :) ) To find them you have to go to 'Archive' page 'one' and scroll along a bit.
Unfortunately, no 'Hot Press' session out-takes as yet!

it takes strength to be gentle and kind... - image of tattoo
see!.... - Morrissey signing arm
"so yesterday at work, we had an instore with chrissie hynde and james walbourne of the pretenders. among a smaller than expected crowd (which included paul cook of the sex pistols), was my friend szabo's hero..morrissey. apparently, he and chrissie are good friends. he has seen szabo many times while he shopped here or enjoyed a pint up the street at the cat and the fiddle, but yesterday she finally had the nerve to ask him to sign her arm. she ran up the street to true tattoo and an hour and a half later, showed me this. szabo is one the the kindest people i have ever met. to see her so happy and filled with elation was amazing."

Excerpt:
Thankfully, I managed to rally and get better by the time I had to get back to LA to see Liz Phair at The Troubadour last night. It was my first show at the venue and it was awesome. Liz performed her debut album Exile in Guyville in full (like she did in NYC earlier this summer) to a sold-out house … which included Morrissey himself watching from the VIP balcony. Sadly, I couldn’t snap any pics of him but I did get a few of and with Liz...
