The problem is, most of the people who work in Media are c***s - plain and simple, especially David Quantick - the biggest c*** music journalist alive, IMO.
These albums were buried in the mass of hatred aimed at Morrissey in the mid-90's (and actually, i can remember good reviews for both albums, but this bitch of a "journalist" has chosen to focus on just the bad ones, to serve her own agenda), and they both deserve re-appraisal.
If this is how Morrissey wants us to hear the albums, i agree with him. For me, these are the definitive editions & i will buy them both.
Because i am a true fan, a real fan.
Because i must.
