I imagine it's been a very frustrating and perhaps even a bit of a humbling experience getting a deal for BOT. Maybe after all of that, he expected Capitol to treat the release of BOT as a higher priority? Looking back I'm wondering if the deal was in place for a while now... explaining his earlier comment about "I Am Veronica" being the next single back in May. Perhaps Capitol is throwing up what Morrissey's perceiving as obstacles every step of the way and that's why he seems more down than happy about BOT now ("our lost album").
Yes, I feel for the guy.
I mean, I know I can sound like a shoutyballs at times, you know you have pint and take to the internet. Things don't always come out as you would like. LOL I luv the guy though. I think most of us do. I feel for him. He has had a bitch of a few years, his mom going. still be monstered in the press. Now when he finally gets a record deal and isn't treated as he should be
I know I have said it before but i really think he missed a move by not getting his own label and self releasing. It really would have been a boss move. He could have toured without the usual ties. He could have been his own boss record wise. put out the singles he wanted. It would have been brilliant for him and us. Instead, he's letting them edit him by letting them pick what comes out and what doesn't . Shame.
Thing is, if they do with this lp, they will do it with the next one.
