Different album cover on play.com. This looks like it's the final cover... and all I can say is wow!!! It looks great! Glad they replaced that initial font...wonder how play and HMV got hold of it?

This version of the new sleeve has been doing the rounds on the internet (I picked it off the popbitch message board), taking the Moz-does-deutsche-grammophon thing to its logical conclusion. I have no idea whether it's legit or not, but it's pretty hi-res and does have the Attack logo on it, complete with catalogue number. There's an Italian tag under the title - 'Registrato e Mescolado a Roma Estate' - which I don't feel equipped to say any more about.

Morrissey Tour Sells Out in 20 Minutes - albumvote.co.uk

Morrissey's forthcoming UK tour is an entire sell but has left many thousands of fans disappointed. The decision to stick with smaller venues coupled with the rising number of touts who can easily ply their trade on eBay means many loyal fans must pay way over the asking price or do without.

A fan at Morrissey-solo claimed, “most other gigs in the country were all gone by 9:20 this morning. Judging by the activity on e-bay, it looks like the b*****d scum touts have struck again.”

The Manchester gigs, and in fact most other gigs in the country were all gone by 9:20 this morning. Judging by the activity on e-bay, it looks like the bastard scum touts have struck again. At least I managed to get one (I wanted two) but a lot of people are going to be truly disappointed...

BBC's Jesus sings Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - MediaGuardian

Excerpts:

The BBC plans to mark the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ this Easter with an hour-long live procession through the streets of Manchester featuring pop stars from The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays and featuring songs by The Smiths and New Order.

In the programme, called Manchester Passion, a character representing Jesus will sing the legendary Joy Division anthem Love Will Tear Us Apart before dueting his arch-betrayer Judas on the New Order hit Blue Monday, according to senior church sources involved in the production.

...

The climax of the event sees Jesus sing the Smiths classic song Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now as he is being flayed by Roman soldiers.
