EMI presents: The Very Best Of Morrissey
With Bonus DVD
Release date: 25th April
And
‘Glamorous Glue’ Single
– All Formats Featuring Previously Unreleased Songs –
Following the 20th anniversary release last year of Bona Drag, EMI are pleased to announce, with Morrissey’s full co-operation, the release through the Major Minor label of The Very Best Of, and limited edition ‘Glamorous Glue’ seven inches and an ECD featuring two never-heard-before B-sides.
The Very Best Of Morrissey is an 18-song compilation, encompassing a diverse selection of material from Morrissey’s HMV and Parlophone albums, ranging from his early run of successful singles, through selected album tracks – ‘Glamorous Glue’, ‘Break Up The Family’ – to B-sides, such as November Spawned A Monster’s ‘Girl Least Likely To’. Additionally, it also includes the US mix of ‘Tomorrow’ and US single version of ‘My Love Life’, his sublime, extended (9:39 minutes) interpretation of Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini’s ‘Moonriver’, and a never-heard-before solo version of ‘Interlude’ (originally released as a duet with Siouxsie Sioux).
The bonus DVD featured 11 promo videos, three of which – ‘Boxers’, ‘The More You Ignore Me…’, and ‘Sunny’ – are previously unavailable on DVD outside of the US, and the rarely seen, mesmerising live performance of ‘I’ve Changed My Plea To Guilty’ from the Jonathan Ross Show.
The week before the album’s release, a limited edition 7″ in a picture sleeve, a limited edition 7″ picture disc, and an ECD single of ‘Glamorous Glue’ was released, both b/w two never-heard-before Morrissey songs – ‘Safe, Warm Lancashire Home’ (7 inches) and ‘Treat Me Like A Human Being’ (ECD) – taken from the Viva Hate album sessions.
Directing the artwork for the album and single, Morrissey has chosen a selection of very rare – in some instances, previously unseen – stunning photos from Jake Walters, Kevin Cummins, Linder Sterling, Perou and Renaud Monfourny to adorn the sleeves, booklet and poster bag.
The album is available on CD and vinyl. The LP version is a double, heavyweight 180g vinyl, housed in a wide-spine sleeve with a pull-out poster. The CD is housed in a gatefold, card sleeve.
The first seven inch single is come in a double-sided picture sleeve with the orange Major Minor labels on the disc. The picture disc is clear plastic with a photo each side..
