Midweek sales figures in the UK have 'Years of refusal' at #1, but Morrissey is very closely tailed by Lily Allen who is only 900 copies behind. Please support Morrissey by buying 'Years of refusal' as soon as you can.

No preorder sign on this and selling multiple copies. Claims it to be the real deal but this is eBay. Does confirm the track listing and the artwork which is interesting though.

Originally released in 1995, Southpaw Grammar was Morrissey’s 5th solo album that charted at No.4 in the UK charts on release, and featured the fans favourite singles ‘Dagenham Dave’ and ‘Boy Racer’.
This re-issue has become a very personal project to Morrissey, who himself requested that he be able to re-sequence the tracklisting, adding in 4 previously unreleased tracks, and give it completely new artwork - he had come to despise the original cover (it was previously the only album artwork that Morrissey himself didn’t feature on!).
The artist has worked closely with us throughout this project, to re-create what he believed to be one of his best albums; this is clearly visible in his extensive personally written liner notes.
The album also features new design by Anthony Lui, and previously unseen photographs by Linder Sterling.
Tracklisting:
1. The boy racer
2. Do your best and don’t worry
3. Reader meet author
4. Honey, you know where to find me
5. Dagenham Dave
6. Southpaw
7. Best friend on the payroll
8. Fantastic bird
9. The operation
10. The teachers are afraid of the pupils
11. You should have been nice to me
12. Nobody loves us

retrousse nose writes:'Years of Refusal' is Record of the week ('viikon valiolevy') on Finnish radio station Radio Helsinki. Every week one album is selected by the excellent DJ team of the show 'Valiojoukko' and this week the honour goes to YOR. This means shameless daily plugging of YOR and plenty of airplay on that show, plus a chance to win the album.
Radio Helsinki have also run an wonderful ad for the two Finnish shows over the past couple of weeks.

Alain Whyte: one of Morrissey’s music men - Buzzbands.LA
Excerpt:
Visiting Alain Whyte’s MySpace page makes you want to dash out some lyrics, grab a microphone and start singing. There, he has posted a half-dozen rock ‘n’ roll tracks that are stereo-ready — except for the absence of vocals. That’s the way the L.A.- based songwriter and producer works, and has for years with his most frequent collaborator, Morrissey.
