Morrissey preps "Southpaw Grammar" reissue, new album

Contributed by alex101. Posted by aubin on Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 2:50 PM (EDT)

According to confirmed reports from Morrissey fan blog, true-to-you, Morrissey is currently preparing a reissue of his 1995 album, Southpaw Grammar. The record followed his breakthrough Vauxhall & I and has proven polarizing to fans and critics for it's departure from his previous sound. The 2008 remaster will include the entirety of the original album, new artwork and three bonus tracks rumoured to be "Honey You Know Where To Find Me", "Laughing Anne", and "You Should Have Been Nice To Me."

Confirmations have come in that Morrissey's upcoming album will be titled Years of Refusal and a release date is planned for September. The record was produced by Jerry Finn (The Offspring, Blink-182, Alkaline Trio, MxPx, Rancid, Green Day), who also produced the 2004 Morrissey album You Are The Quarry.

It is due out in July.

I'll criticize the fuck out of Morrissey because I love him so damn much.

This album was shit and does not need to be revisited.

I bought a 7 inch single of the new song form the greatest hits, 'That's How People Grow Up', and on side B it has a live recording of 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side'... pretty phenomenal...

Morrissey is one of the better human beings on this planet.

I wasn't too into some of the stuff on Ringleader, but I'd never turn away new Morrissey material.

Ringleader has some of the most phenomenal stuff I've heard... Unfortunately, it sas balanced out with go nowhere filler. That "On the streets I ran" or whatever that song sounded very on the spot. But, the first 5 songs, and that Life is a Pigsty song? Amazing.

not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, but still some of his weakest stuff. they should have put the two b-sides from the dagenham dave single on there, which were better than anything that made it onto the album.

Morrissey re-released. Teenage suicide on the rise due to spinning of record.
