Gill Smith - true-to-you.net

Gill Smith - true-to-you.net

6 April 2009

Morrissey would like to ask associates of The Smiths to spare a thought for Gill Smith who died this morning (April 6th) in London. Gill was 51 years old, and amongst many other things in her life, she had been The Smiths press officer/publicist from June 1984 to 1986. Gill was a vivacious, glamorous and witty character, a stern ally of The Smiths, and was loved and admired by everyone around her.

joe frady notes in the forum thread "Gill Smith woz 'ere...RIP" that Gill posted a response in the Marc Almond autobiography thread back in September 2008.

Southpaw Grammar reissue sleeve, details from designer Anthony Lui
posted by davidt on Monday April 06 2009, @11:00AM

Kewpie sends the link (via Morrissey reddit), originally posted by joe frady in the forums (original post):

Morrissey: Southpaw Grammar reissue - No Allegiances

Excerpt:

Morrissey had wanted to use the Jake Walters shots of him wearing his smalls in the empty pool for the cover but we managed to talk him out of it, citing the need to differentiate this from the Greatest Hits releases. Morrissey agreed and dug out a series taken by Linder Sterling in El Paso with some fantastic shots of him in a denim jacket and Wayfarers… and a couple of shots of him looking like Will Young which we binned.

The new liner notes, Morrissey’s own Southpaw Grammar diaries, give an insight into the recording process, the tensions between the band and a candid take (for Morrissey) about what Southpaw Grammar means to him. As such, the text was given priority, with Morrissey insisting on increasing the type size larger… larger… larger… stop.

I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
