There is an extended bit of press release there and Joe is quoted:

‘I Am Not A Dog On A Chain’ was produced by the Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chicarelli (Beck, The Strokes, The Killers). It was recorded during sessions at Studio La Fabrique in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France and Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California.

"I have now produced four studio albums for Morrissey,” said Chicarelli. “This is his boldest and most adventurous album yet. He has pushed the boundaries yet again - both musically and lyrically. And once again proving that as a songwriter and singer, he is in his own category. In truth, no one can be Morrissey but… Morrissey!”



So, to summarise:
Digital download,
CD,
Black vinyl,
Mporium w/l 'test pressing' (Limited to 100 copies?),
Indie only clear red vinyl,
Website only clear vinyl,
Website only cassette.

Apologies for the long post, lots of information happened at the same time.
Regards,
FWD.

I can't get over how atrocious the album cover is. This makes Malajusted's cover look semi palatable.
Who's responsible for this design?
 
This album is gonna achieve cult status for that sleeve alone. And if the material is any good, it’ll go down as one of his most memorable records.
 
Is this the real cover? I don't dislike it but it reminds of the CD bootlegs I used to buy in the 90s.
Any writing credits for the tracks?
Cheers.
 
For f***'s sake! What is this cover?
Jo Slee, Caryn Gough and Linder Sterling must be laughing at the sad state of affairs.

They've been workin' real hard to tear him down and still they didn't tear him down.
Let's go ahead and let'em have a smile for failin'.

No writing credits. They used a random song/cacophony generator preprogammed to overlay chug guitars over everything.
