There is NOT a deal with Sanctuary. Do NOT pre-order anything.
they are just going to collect the money. let it collect interest, then
send the refunds or worse just give you credit on the next purchase.
either way Sanctuary makes money off of Morrissey.
--- I haven't heard about this practice, can they be that desperate for that small amount of money?

I did the same as a person on the thread about the album being on Amazon for pre-order and emailed Sanctuary and this is what I got as a reply:
"Yes, there is a new album due for release in September, however these are all the details I have at the moment.
Do not hesitate to contact us again in a few weeks for more information.
Kind regards

So it would appear somebody's talking through their arse, the question is who?

I too have received a confirmation from Sanctuary that this there is a release scheduled...surely they must be liable to severe legal comeback if this is proved to be a scam?

i would hope that the label contacts that people have been emailing would not be as seedy as to lie about morrissey being on their label, and certainly, if i was morrissey, i would do more than sit back and yawn as fans plunk down money on a non-existant album.

Davidt is under suspicion (Score:0, Troll)
2- why does he, cautious as he has been for the last five years, decides to post a very serious accusation (i.e, that Sanctuary and/or Amazon are/is trying to deceive their customers) sent by an "anonymous" person? Could this be the "Deep Throat" of Morrisseygate?
3- why, as already mentioned, there's no word from Morrissey's pitbull-like attorneys?
My conclusion: the Sanctuary deal is sinking but not dead, the anonymous person speaks officially (but not publicly) for Moz and davidt is hiding information from us. Otherwise why would he put his and his site's reputation on such a risky situation? There's absolutely no way Sanctuary could be making serious money off this; maybe, just maybe, people are testing the waters to see how much a new Morrissey album would be sought after, but in that case Morrissey has probably joined the conspiracy as well.
Lies, misinformation, unanswered questions, missed deadlines, sudden changes. I simply knew five years wouldn't be enough to test our faith. But I keep waiting.

Thank you for your email.
Morrissey has not yet signed to Sanctuary and further news on the subject will be posted on the Sanctuary site, as and when we have any news to announce

I'll start a new rumour - the Moz album will be available on the tour, one copy per person. If you don't go you won't get one.
That's bullshit by the way.
