Without revealing too much can you share how you were able to hear the LP versions?
To be honest, it wasn't the best condition for the listening event.
I don't like the guy who had the record and My eldest decided to piggyback on my work trip. for a "hype time" whatever the hell that means. He went MIA for 48 hours and ended up in Philly!
The guy who let me listen was a real smug wanker saying "I can't give you a copy " , as my son said "a dick move", So I had to sit there, while he talked and I tried to listen. He knows I wouldn't share it, what do these people think by holding tight to it, they are somehow closer to M, do they think he will come around and invite them to play crazy golf?
I was also a bit pissed (drunk). Anyway, the production is sharp and the songs pack way more of a punch than when played live.
The song BOF teenagers was a bit limp live but has a wallop on the studio version. All the songs we heard live sound better on record - this is the opposite of Lady Willpower, Art Hounds and even Crashing Bores, which were great live but drained of life when they hit wax
The backing band sound more skilled this time around, not sure if the band were different players to normal. I don't really follow the members of M's band.
I can't really say anything apart from this, anyone who is a fan of M's last two LPs will love this. It's a shame this is wasting away.
He should do some kind of BOT EP, 3 songs from the LP - call it Morrissey- BOT the EP
Or Morrissey- Bangers or Morrissey - Human Guy Fawkes or something. do it as a digital download release it on Nov 5th or whatever
It will get people way more excited than the live recordings
M's voice is fire on this lp. Actually, call the EP Morrissey- Fire
All I can really say is this, I was depressed afterward that this lp isn't out there. Why should we the fans suffer, because record companies are run by pricks?
