nice package (oo-er Missus) (Score:0)
It's an interesting take on the re-issue. Rather than tacking on a couple of extra tracks (possible inclusion of tacky badge) looks like Moz has sought to create a definitive version of an album much of the fanbase thinks is flawed.
I am really looking forward to this!
Track order (Score:1)
Still, mustn't grumble. Looking forward to hearing the new tracks. Plus, it's good that Morrissey hasn't taken a conservative, preservationist approach to this re-release. Too many artists look back on their earlier work with a kind of museum curator's detachment, instead of seeing it as part of something ongoing and organic.

Every time I come here, the headline story is about some crappy CD re-issue, re-release, re-tarded way of Morrissey to get more money off us.

the fact that it ends with the reel to reel running out and the hypnotic 6.5 minutes instrumental part of the song are the perfect way to end an album.
it is possible that they might be thinking of putting this on vinyl which would make it the last track of side 1, which at least would make sense.

I'm thinking that maybe this track listing reflects what Morrissey thinks of the songs, in other words, he doesn't think much of Teachers... or The Operation! Do Your Best & Don't Worry is class.
From a snobs point of view, I'm quite happy You Must Please Remember isn't on there. I love the song but it's nice that it isn't more widely available. Like it's 'our little secret'

Azoff bio (Score:1)
- Irving Azoff (born December 12, 1947) is an American personal manager, representing recording artists in the music industry such as: Jewel, The Eagles, Bush, REO Speedwagon, Seal, Journey, Christina Aguilera, Alter Bridge, Van Halen, Neil Diamond, New Kids on the Block, Steely Dan and Guns N' Roses. He is chairman and founder of Azoff Music Management Group, Inc.
Azoff began promoting and booking bands during his college years at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has worked as an agent, personal manager, concert promoter, movie producer, independent record label owner, merchandiser, music publisher, and CEO of a record company. He moved to Los Angeles with his first big clients, Joe Walsh and Dan Fogelberg. He then joined Geffen Roberts management where he began working with The Eagles. After David Geffen sold Asylum Records to Warner Music, the management company splintered and Azoff left with the Eagles as his own client.
From 1983 to 1989, Azoff headed MCA Records and is credited for saving the company from bankruptcy. Azoff resigned from MCA in 1989 to form his own record label, Giant Records, now defunct.
Frederic Dannen's book, Hitmen, includes a chapter titled "The Troika" about Azoff, David Geffen and Walter Yetnikoff, three rival record executives in the 1980s. According to Thomas R. King's book, The Operator, Geffen manipulated Azoff into leaving MCA and going to Warner Music Group where he started Giant Records. King writes that Geffen wanted Azoff out at MCA to clear the way for MCA to buy Geffen Records. So Geffen convinced Mo Ostin at Warner Music to offer Irving Azoff a "dream" label deal. Giant Records operated for much of the 1990s until Azoff decided to return to concentrating on artist management.
Irving co-produced the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High and has been named "Manager of the Year" by two touring industry's trade publications.
In January 2008, it is being reported that Azoff is working with former New Kids on the Block alumni Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Danny Wood and Donnie Wahlberg on a 'reunion' album.
On March 27, 2008, Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose announced that Azoff and Andy Gould are now new management for Guns N' Roses. -

with these additional tracks it would of probably been received a lot
better by fans and would of sold more copies.
At the time I remember thinking 'just 8 tracks' and was miffed at the exclusion
of 'nobody' as its a Mozz classic.
After the 7 year hiatus (97-2004) how can we moan about NEW unreleased tracks. I'm looking forward to those as much as Years of Refuge (sorry Refusal)
The new artwork is good. So, looking forward to the 2 songs I haven't heard.
(I've already got 'honey' on mp3, it doesn't really go with the mood of Southpaw - but its a pleasant tune nonetheless.)
Only down side for me is Southpaw, the Hollywood DVD was on my Christmas list.......
More socks now....

A proper release (Score:1)
Have dug the cassette out and taking a new listen. It really rocks (can't get "The Operation" out of my head now) and would be cool to hear a lot of the tracks live with whatever new twist the current band lineup infuse it with.
Craig Gannon apparently played a big part in its production (see video/dvd "Jewel in the Crown") and acknowledged the sound might not be conventional but overall felt it was Moz's greatest masterpiece at the time. Hardcore fans of The Lads will appreciate that Alain Whyte co-wrote 6 of the original songs as Boz did for 2 of them. Spencer drummed and Johnny Bridgewood is credited with playing the bass.
And Tony Lui's new artwork with exclusive Linder photos (I really hope it's newly unearthed stuff!) would be much welcome.
