Not a mock-up after all.
Odd track list - Satellite... and including the Mael mix!?
Opinions?

FWD.

LOL I'm probably too innocent for some of these Morrissey songs. They go straight over my head. You apparently have an entirely different interpretation on roaring and gurgling from the stalls than I ever imagined. :eek:
I though he was referring to his own lisp? How it never held him back? Mind you I didn't realize the lyrics of National Front was offensive till now so what do I know?
I believe the term lucky lisp is referring to 'gayness' (since lisping is associated with gayness/effeminacy). He's saying to someone he likes, how you are (ie gay) wasn't wasted on you. 'I will roar from the stalls' is referencing sex in bathroom stalls (or toilet cubicles). 'Gurgle from the circle' references oral sex/glory holes. 'The balcony fool was me' references the term 'balcony gay' - ie someone who watches the scene but does not take part - very Morrissey (or young Morrissey, anyway). Nine-leafed clover is a reference to the anus. Sorry to upset you, 669 :)

How does his granny come into this gay scenario?
 
What is "bizarre". That was a record label promo, not an official release. I got it for free. Maybe it'll be worth something on eBay someday, I dunno. But why are you worried about a record label promo item?

I'm not worried by it at all; I like the collection. For a compilation to include both Smiths and solo material was "bizarre", I meant, as in unusual. Certainly it is an unprecedented curio.

The song has genuinely taken on a new meaning for me after all these years! I always thought it was such a twee, innocent song for Morrissey...
 
I wonder what version of Jack the Ripper will be on this release.

I wondered the same thing. Also, Satellite Of Love doesn’t say (Live) next to it, so could it be an exclusive studio version of the cover song?

Sorry Orson! Hope you can learn to love it all over again! It is just an interpretation (and we all know how Morrissey songs are open to interpretation). But personally I have yet to read another one that better explains those very specific words. This song never made any sense at all to me before, and then it all clicked into place. The fact that it surfaced around the time of Piccadilly Palare, another homage to covert gay lifestyles, makes it fit all the more, for me.

Peppermint you should set up your own media channel looking at gay meanings in song lyrics. You know like those folk who look like Satan interpretation of lyrics ...your own version of Spotify.

Oh, Scotty, that's a little unfair! I was just looking for any old meaning - ie something that made sense. I can't help it if Morrissey writes so pornographically, can I?
 
This isn't "This is Morrissey", this is "World of Morrissey Redux." Odd track list, far from vital. I see no sense in this, but at least they didn't name it Greatest (s)Hits again.

While the extra verse on the studio 'Jack the Ripper" is nice to hear once in a blue moon, the live version is for sure the definitive version. Gives me goosebumps.
 
beautiful cover. :)




I wonder if Russell will refuse any royalties from a man whose views he doesn't understand/agree with.

Assuming that they receive some sort of payment from their mix that's included.
And Mike gets royalties for International Playboys :)

At least he hasn't tied in the ticket sales from this with gig tickets like he did with his last album..... still have 3 unwrapped clear vinyl albums from buying pre sale tickets for the Hollywood Bowl gig. (any takers??)

I don't know how it all works. Does Mike get money for it? Or just the actual songwriters? I'm guessing Mike was paid a flat fee for playing on the song as a session musician and doesn't have any royalties to future use of it, but I could be wrong. I just find it doubtful Morrissey would keep putting that song on every compilation if Mike gets a cut. :lbf:

Haha well you know if you like listen to lucky lisp under water with your head turned 360 degrees you can clearly hear a gay man coughing up a pubic hair ball..just teasing.

No no no.
I'm not saying Moz isn't gay, but the stalls, circle & balcony are simply the 3 areas of seating in a theatre. Maybe 'balcony gay' is relevant, but he doesn't say that, he says 'balcony fool'. So I don't really think this is anything more than prurience.
