It's almost November.
I'm guessing delayed. Can't imagine if they had a date that they wouldn't have announced it by now
Have you thought about sending a friendly FB message to Sam or Boz or Gustavo asking one of them on the status? They all three posted on this initially, which is how us fans learned of it.It's almost November.

But would you buy it though, if it was the same except for the Joan of Arc front cover?
Just curious.
And yes, I'd rebuy even if it's just a different cover. I'm a sucker. I do wonder if they'll at least unearth those "French mixes" for the b sides.
Agreed. I hope that the Joan of Arc backdrop and imagery means that "plans remain in place" like TTY said, but it seems a little unlikely Moz is gonna pull a Beyoncé and (re)unleash it to the world with no notice.

Just a thought...maybe they'll say something.
Good call re: hitting them up. I'll consider it haha

I wouldn't. I have the deluxe version already. I'm not buying the same thing just because the cover is different. If there was a bonus CD with acoustic versions or live versions of the songs then I would consider buying it. Even then I would wait for it drop in price.But would you buy it though, if it was the same except for the Joan of Arc front cover?

I suspect it will *never* come out, if Morrissey has to pay to have it released himself. My feeling is that cover was put out there as a desperate attempt to temp some interest from the record labels, who, obviously, still have no interest in re-issuing it.
The only way a re-release would make any money is if it's bundled with some extras (I'm guessing a live album recorded direct from the soundboard would be the cheapest option).
Whoever is in charge of his strategy seems to depend on a core fanbase who will buy anything he releases rather than trying to add something to catch the attention of casual listeners, or give some real reason to repurchase something you bought two years ago. Everyone listens to the files anyway, not the physical media.I wouldn't. I have the deluxe version already. I'm not buying the same thing just because the cover is different.

Moz (or perhaps the record companies) have been notoriously bad when it comes to value for money: the DVDs have been extremely vanilla (e.g. The Malady Lingers On), zillions of 'Greatest Hits' CDs, album reissues with sweet f all extras, one hour long concerts, etc etc. Compare that to a group like The Cure who released a 3CD version of Disintegration and who play in concert for 4 hours sometimes. Now that's how you do it.
Moz isn't the only one making music. I'd prefer to spend my money on the latest New Order or Pixies album instead of buying the same thing twice.

They might buy it but they don't listen to it.Nah - all the cool kids these days buy vinyl. The only people who listen to digital music are old farts in their 30's.
I will not pay a single penny for any release that contains "Kick the Bride Down the Aisle".
