 At a recent concert, Morrissey announced that he was about to play a song from his 1995 album, Southpaw Grammar – at which point an excited whoop went up from the audience. It was a response that the singer clearly wasn’t expecting. “Really? Did anyone buy it?” he enquired. “Could you furnish me with receipts?”These days, Morrissey is a National Treasure. His arena gigs sell out in minutes, his singles go Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic, his half-baked opinions on immigration are earnestly debated on Question Time.

Now comes an even bolder step, an attempt to portray what are, let's be honest, two of his more reviled records as great misunderstood masterpieces. Southpaw Grammar, from 1995, and 1997’s Maladjusted are back from the bargain bins and available to 'sound and look the way Morrissey wanted'. Rapture....full text |
