World of Morrissey podcast

Twenty two of Morrissey's favourite female pop songs of the sixties, all played off original vinyl.

Morrissey's love of 60s female pop is well documented. Len Brown's "Meetings With Morrissey" is especially insightful on the topic, in fact, in Chapter Ten, Morrissey lavishes praise on several of the songs included in this mix. Here's an excerpt, Morrissey on form, as ever, "Men were very repressed (in the 60s), they were playing it safe, they weren't walking the tightrope, they couldn't sing those songs themselves. Whereas singers like Timi Yuro were throwing themselves off a cliff and saying to hell with it. Singers like Shirley Bassey and Judy Garland had such a passionate dramatic audience, because these women were really holding their own heads under water. And rightly so in some cases...if only I could have been there".

All dialogue featured in the mix is from the 1961 film version of A Taste Of Honey, based on Shelagh Delaney's play of the same name.
