Even in a puff piece Mozball's obnoxiousness is noted.

“I get quite passionate about the vocal melodies and the orchestration always sweeps me away”

I know that feeling…

Speaking of "covers" it is kind of strange Morrissey never did a covers album of his favourite singers that appeared on his sleeves. Diana Dors, Billy Fury... Oh wait. I have just discovered most of them are not singers but actors. I tried to look up http://www.vulgarpicture.com/ but it's now just spinning records minus the sleeves. What a shame because it was a great site.

I loved that site, it said as much about the Smiths and Morrissey almost as much as the music and words. If you haven’t already, try and get a copy of Peepholism, my favourite
Morrissey book, bar Autobiography.

Fascinating book, If only Harvey Keitel had agreed for his picture to be used for Strangeways Here We Come, what a fantastic album sleeve we would have had.

Yes it was a great photo, but I kind of like that smiths sleeves mostly have slightly lesser known or obscure celebrities versus the ones that have a more visible fame. Yes I realise there's a few big hitters in there, but I prefer Richard Davalos over Harvey Keitel for Strangeways. Keitel didn't work out with Morrissey and also didn't work out with Kubrick so he's not worth worrying about in my book.

I used to love seeing each release and who was on it, and if you weren’t aware of who they were you would investigate and learn all about them.
Embarrassingly I had no idea who Rita Tushingham was but me mum looked at the sleeve and explained all about her love of the 60s kitchen sink gritty northern movies.
I wish Morrissey still cared about sleeves, font and tints. I loved his fastidiousness
