Description
at a time when he celebrates 20 years of career, morrissey confesses that he wants to start a new creative stage, now linked to decca. "greatest hits," the album now edited is the beginning of this new partnership, and a new album scheduled for the end of 2008.
"greatest hits" is thus a retrospective of the career of solo morrissey, from the late 80s to the present day, containing all its great successes, from the old "everyday is like sunday" to the latest "irish blood, english heart". "that's how people grow up" and "all you need is me" are the two unpublished in it included and that will open the appetite for the original album that is to follow you.
the "greatest hits" edition in Britain was followed by six sold-out concerts in the roundhouse, the legendary London hall and the criticism of the concerts were unanimous: morrissey is at the height of the form. is appointed as one of the most influential characters of his generation, as a songwriter, first in the smiths and then on the ground. the social content that always makes it a question of having in its lyrics and its musical approach has been the reference and inspiration of a generation of musicians.
"greatest hits" will be edited in two versions, one standard in jewel box, the other, one double cd in digipack. the second cd of the luxury edition has eight live themes.
Artist
British vocalist, born May 22, 1959, in Manchester, United Kingdom. Former lead singer of The Smiths. Morrissey started his career as a lead singer for punk bands. He formed Sulky Young (renamed The Tee Shirts) and later joined The Nosebleeds (formed in the early 1970s under the name Wild Ram) with Billy Duffy (The Cult), replacing Ed Banger and Vini Reilly. However, in his autobiography Morrissey denied ever being a member of The Nosebleeds. He claims that Duffy recruited him after the break up of The Nosebleeds and they wrote songs together. For their live performances they hadn't decided on a band name. They roped in the rhythm section of The Nosebleeds and Paul Morley used this name for a live review.
