Not sure if anyone's spotted this yet, but i was taking a gander at true-to-you.net & found that a message from Morrissey had been uploaded today. See, hating Hallowe'en & staying in does have its charms.

"I would like to say congratulations to Julia on the new launch of True To You! I know it will be a big success.
We are in the mid-stages of the mixing process on Ringleader Of The Tormentors here in Rome, and it has been a dazzling experience. Tony Visconti has been exceptional, and we are all very proud of the results.
The first single will be released in the second week of February, and the album will follow around March 20th.
Our plan to play Mexico City on New Year's Eve has not materialised - no decent financial offer to make the journey possible, which is sad.
We have moved our Italian and Greek and Turkish dates to February which will be the tour to launch the album.
Please watch this site for more news soon.
I am yours forever, MORRISSEY."

Better start saving your pennies, Mozzer's coming to town!

The music magazine Record Collector claims that the new album is out in January.

i talk to boz boorer via email regularly and he has informed me they are mixing the new album as we speak.

Julia Riley’s Morrissey fansite has been most impressively revamped. We are quickly becoming spoilt for choice. Check it out at: www.true-to-you.net. Well done Julia!

Here’s the overview as given:

"The True To You magazine and website are dedicated to Morrissey. In celebration of this great artist, True To You publishes news and information relating to Morrissey and his work; details about his albums, singles, and videos; experiences and pictures from his concerts and other events; tribute polls and poll results; and other features, articles, poems, photographs, drawings, and comments reflecting respect and appreciation for him."
