This is the section where Marr talks about The Smiths, here. After all the negative comments on the main page, listen to Marr talk with delight and reverence.

Specialist record dealer Esprit (www.eil.com) and www.amazon.co.uk are featuring this forthcoming release:
From Amazon: The "Smiths": The Early Years (Paperback) by Paul Slattery This is a lavishly produced photo book of the band acclaimed by many as the most important UK act of the 80s. Photographer Paul Slattery was allowed unprecedented access to the Smiths during the crucial early period of their career and this book is a permanent record of an era when their remarkable music struck a lasting chord in a generation alienated by Thatcherism. Slattery could be found backstage, front of stage and anywhere in Manchester where the Smiths plied their trade. This first ever book of his work features many photos never seen before, in both colour and black & white. Released: 19th August 2007, paperback Retails at: £19.95 GBP (Amazon currently has the best price - £13.16 GBP)

There was a piece in the Irish Times online, Friday 15th June about Sanctuary, the record company under which Morrissey released his last album Ringleader of the Tormentors, being bought by Universal Music Group. Universal agrees to buy Sanctuary - Irish Times Universal Music Group has agreed to buy struggling British rival Sanctuary for £44.5 million. Universal unit Centenary Music Holdings said today it had offered 20 pence per share for Sanctuary, which manages artists James Blunt and Elton John and markets merchandise for over-30 big-name acts including Oasis and The Who. It also handles live events for over 350 artists including Avril Lavigne, Amy Winehouse and James Morrison. Artist management, live booking and merchandising is a growth area within the industry, and the acquisition will help diversify Universal's revenues, already the world's largest music group by sales. Analysts at Citigroup said Universal owner Vivendi could now be in a position to roll the music artist management service out more fully. --- Also: Universal agrees to buy struggling Sanctuary - Reuters / Yahoo!

In this month's issue of 'The Word' magazine there is a feature on the 20 greatest vocalists of all time. Although not ranked in any particular order, Morrissey is listed among the likes of Sam Cooke, Jeff Buckley and, oddly, Bjork. Their justification for Moz's inclusion is as follows;
"Equal parts chanson vocalist, punk-rock stage monster, elegist and music hall comedian, he is absolutely unique and absolutely indispensable." Unfortunately their website has no link to the story.
