Wondering if this sells well, will Sire pick him up?

 

[Les Tameside]

Christ: that sleeve

 

[The.Boy.Racer]

The sleeve has actually grown on me, I quite like it now....he does look a bit like Beethoven on that picture doesn't he...

 

[theprivilegeismine]

So at least one of the two gigs sounds like it is in the U.S.

 

[BookishBoy]

Christ: that sleeve

I mean, you'd think someone could at least have ironed the shirt for him...

 

[Phranc & Open]

Go on!

 

[This Charming Bowie]

Looks like someone’s been reading here, as that weird black drawn on line seems to have miraculously disappeared…

Simply swapping out the original great sleeve is inexplicable, to change it for that is borderline criminal.

Strange that Moz would agree to remove a photo taken by Linder, and replace it with this. First rule of changing something - only change it if the change is an improvement on what was there before. This isn't.

 

[Innes]

I like the album, it’s a good reminder of a great time for Morrissey.

The new sleeve is poor.
The photo , the layout, font.

A photo from the era the album was recorded would surely be better.

I can’t see him playing these gigs
But I hope he does

 

[Famous when dead]

Wondering if this sells well, will Sire pick him up?

Sire is a US arm of Warners used for distribution. The majority of The Smiths and solo stuff was shared Stateside by them.
Unfortunately, Warners doing this doesn't relate to a new record deal at all.

FWD.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I would almost pay money for an honest explanation as to why they chose a picture from 2006. It’s so weird. So dumb.

 

[Trevelbond]

So all of the albums get a picture from 2006? Whether it's a new release or a vintage re-release, it's all 2006.

I guess I agree that he looked his best in that era, very distinguished. It just makes no sense to do with an album from the early-90s. The world of Morrissey is a strange place.

 

[theprivilegeismine]

I wish they would hurry up and announce when and where the two gigs are happening.

 

[Loosie]

I like that the photo isn't posed. It's raw Morrissey.

 

[DennisW]

I got he CD around 1994. Guess it was an import; never knew it wasn't officially released in USA.
Great album. Best version of Jack the Ripper.

Odd, though, to change cover pic to one not from the actual Paris gig (or at least contemporaneous with it).

 

[Ben Daheer]

I wish they would hurry up and announce when and where the two gigs are happening.

Pretty sure they've been cancelled.

 

[theprivilegeismine]

Pretty sure they've been cancelled.

They've not been announced yet but I guess that is the joke you're making, huh!?

 

[Jacob Grease-Smog]

Reeks of not arsed at all, throw another pointless re-issue out into the ether. No quality control, no soul.
