Morrissey - Discografia. Viva Hate (1988) Tacks 01- Alsatian Cousin 02- Little Man, What Now. Download Morrissey Greatest Hits 2008 Tracks 1- First Of The Gang To Die (You Are The Quarry - 2004). (Viva Hate - 1988) 10- The Youngest Was The Most Loved (Ringleader Of The Tormentors - 2006). The problem with Viva Hate lies in its presumed advantages; Morrissey free of the Smiths, on a major record label with larger recording and marketing budgets than Rough Trade – the single of “Suedehead” charted higher than any Smiths single had managed in its first week of release – but also a Morrissey without a Marr, without anybody.
Parlophone will issue This Is Morrissey, a new single-disc compilation in July.The semi-random 12-track selection includes two Record Store Day A-sides (the Mael Mix of Suedehead and the live Satellite of Love) neither of which have been issued on CD before, along with 10 other tracks from albums and singles issued on Parlophone in the late 80s and early 1990s. For some reason, Your The One For Me Fatty is a live version. The vinyl has a bonus track of Angel, Angel Down We Go Together, from Viva Hate and if you buy the CD in America you’ll get a 10-track editionMorrissey apparently curated this himself, and (with Fiona Dodwell) he described how he made the selection: “It’s difficult to choose because so many of the songs are fantastic. The album is so full of life, and worthy questions, and great choruses, and quite playful. It’s a very underrated catalogue, but perhaps everyone feels this way about their own songs.”This is Morrissey will be issued on CD on 6 July. At the time of writing, it’s only, cheap enough to pick up just for those two RSD tracks.
The vinyl will follow on 31 August. The Last of the Famous International Playboys (2010 Remastered Version). 2. Ouija Board, Ouija Board (2010 Remastered Version). 3. Speedway (2014 Remastered Version).

The more I think about this, the more bewildered I am that he doesn’t just reissue You Are the Quarry, Ringleader of the Tormentors, Southpaw Grammar, and Maladjusted on vinyl. He would make much more of an impact than he will on this, even if some consider the last two I mention to be of lesser quality as they are still albums hardly anybody has.
Maybe that’s banging on about the vinyl cause, but I always thought Morrissey was a fairly savvy self-marketer, and it would seem he would want the fans who are willing to buy everything released to at least make them available. Who doesn’t want to make money on their old material a second time around? I bet You Are the Quarry would do extremely well as it’s considered a big, classic “comeback” record (even if he never left). Vinyl haters can place your comments here (and that’s coming from someone who bought all the deluxe editions and deluxe CD remasters of these albums so).
I’ve given him more of my money than I care to recollect. I have a reasonably complete collection of his solo catalog, but I haven’t heard a track from his most recent new release and I’ll not be fleeced for his back catalog anymore either. I cannot overlook the coy, cowardly expression of his casual racism anymore. His authorial voice was always one in defense of the overlooked and vulnerable, and now he uses that voice to marginalize the powerless and breathlessly defend tyrants. I’m done with the hypocrite.
I’m surprised at how many of you remain onboard with him as I know other tour-following, diehard fans of 20+ years who have walked away shaking their heads. I’m not the type usually to come around trashing something I don’t care for when other people are celebrating it, but I’m legitimately surprised anyone still cares about him.
