[Gregor Samsa]

Out of all of the numerous anniversaries next year……

 

[bored]

If BoT or WMTWD are used as scales of measurement, a release next August would qualify as being soon.

Practically immediately.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Yes! A reissue of one of his worst songs!!

it’s a cover, Seymour.

 

[Mozzypaws]

Why doesn't Warner sign him?

 

[Famous when dead]

Why doesn't Warner sign him?

Historical re-releases they have licence/ownership of etc =/= any reason to engage with now given previous relationship.
FWD.

 

[Phranc & Open]

It would be really funny if this announcement also came too early ("will soon be re-issued", "watch this space for dates") and they are pissed off now and won't release it. Just kidding, of course...a re-issue is at least a recent publication with his name on it!

Come on, it's the good old times. Nothing wrong with the class of 94 when we were all younger and less critical.

Morrissey and Siouxsie - 'Interlude'

 

[Seymour Glass]

it’s a cover, Seymour.

I'm aware of that. Doesn't make it suck any less.

 

[j*e*t]

I love the Morrissey solo version of Interlude and, as someone who at one time used to listen to the Banshees' song Mittageisen on a loop, I can understand Morrissey wanting to collaborate with Siouxsie, but I think he, as the one holding the better hand, should have found a cover that she was really enthusiastic about.

 

[Light Housework]

 

[Phranc & Open]

Why can't RCA Victor, Island, Mercury or any other follow-up company release something of importance or value for the fans of the old Morrissey? There are still unreleased masters, that would make a happy man or woman out of some old geezers here. Why cash-in with this already widely known little gem? Anyway, the man himself mentions even this on his official platform.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Edit: for me, & maybe others?, it holds a special place in my heart, for the original was used on the pre show tape, Arsenal tour.

 

[SuedeMoz]

When I read the autobiography the first time I had heard very little of his music. I would have enjoyed this song more if I hadn't already read his version of their contact! That autobiography was an eye-opener to me, having been brought up with "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"!

If anything Autobiography caused me to view Interlude with even less enthusiasm. It's a bit of an odd chapter in his solo career... the one time he sets out to collaborate with someone and of course, it doesn't go well. I can only wonder if a better song choice might have helped?

he did at least give her a choice, between Interlude or Happy (?) if memory serves.

 

[DaveJCarr]

To be clear, I think this is wonderful. In my opinion, this is one of his best-recorded vocals – and the duet is the rare case of elevation – version with his solo track pales in comparison to the duet .

Having said that, and having been burned by the "announcement" of Rainbow Valley, the French mixes of the World Peace singles, the pledge re- release of that album, and the 2000's era albums to say nothing of the well-documented fracas involving "bonfire of teenagers" why not wait until t Warner or Roulette will announce it themselves – or at least until there is a preorder link or definite date information.

I want this to be true I think it's probably true, but we have every reason to believe based on very recent evidence that this is a premature announcement before everything is cleared with the necessary parties.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Practically immediately.

how ‘bout …

 

[gordyboy9]

Why doesn't Warner sign him?

maybe they have and they are keeping it under their hat till the time is right,doubt it though.

To be clear, I think this is wonderful. In my opinion this is one of his best recorded vocals – and the duet is the rare case of elevation – version with his solo track pales in comparison to the direct for my tastes.

Um...

Roulette Records - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The previous artist list appears very...
For want of a better word...
Nostalgic!?

Roulette Records was a mob owned label run by,
"the Godfather of the music industry", Morris Levy.
Moz probably knows the history.
They talked about Roulette Records, when Tommy James
was a guest on Gilbert and Frank. (8:15)

The instrumental version is the best. Morrissey should release more instrumentals.
