Morrissey has paid the exit fee to Capitol Records in order to return both WORLD PEACE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS and BONFIRE OF TEENAGERS albums back to him.
"It's been a long, hard, bloody war. Few would make it out alive, and … I'm no exception," he has commented.
Morrissey remains unsigned.

[A Man Escaped]

Miley's label blocked the release, their hands were tied. So, he was given the option of replacing/removing the vocals or give back his fee. What could they have done differently?

Exactly. So what now?.

No "indie" label would have the clout to release the original recording without the consent of Columbia.

Maybe he will rerecord it with Dana Gillespie on backing vocals.

 

[Loosie]

He's still got a few tricks up his sleeve. I have no doubt it will be released soon.

 

[Mike Rourke]

Good news I guess but the main problem remains.
He's expecting a deal that an artist whose albums sell 50,000-100,000 would be offered (as was the case for him for virtually his entire post Smiths output).
If there remains practically zero support from radio for his new songs (as has been the case since 2019), he will struggle to sell 10,000.

 

[Was I ever any good]

Fair comment. It’s not about the wireless
Nowadays tho…..
He needs his face all over TV .
Interviews, ECT.

 

[BrokenFrame]

Moz's downfall is his arrogance and it has really cost him time and time again.

 

[BrokenFrame]

Capitol didn't fight for the artist.
They cried about what they couldn't do.
The art is what's valuable.
Guess we disagree.

He could have kept quiet about Miley's involvement and there wouldn't have been a problem to begin with. The art would be intact.

 

[Loosie]

Moz's downfall is his arrogance and it has really cost him time and time again.

Exactly how is he arrogant? You can place him side by side any other artist and he be the less arrogant of the two. It is all about perception.

 

[The Alchemist]

His quotes are always so damn dramatic!

His life is opera don't you know.

Opera indeed.

This is amazing news and I'll be drinking to this tonight. That this is one step closer to me hearing the studio cut of Saint In A Stained Glass Window.... I can't help feel a bit giddy.

After all of this drama, it makes a conventional smooth sailing release seem a lot less fun. Maybe I'm just a masochist.

I suppose it's a case of I Want The One I Can't Have....

 

[new musings]

Best news of the day

 

[Vesper Nocturne]

Everyone here is a masochist

 

[Vesper Nocturne]

Everyone here is a masochist

This site doesn’t just exist to abuse Morrissey, this site is hands down the best place on the net to come if you’re a masochist who also wants to be abused!

Why not! It’s the site that keeps on giving!

 

[The Alchemist]

That's actually hilarious, and probably true.

 

[Hazard_UK]

Bloody Fantastic.
And not the gherkins above (!) - hideous things.

[Vesper Nocturne]

That's actually hilarious, and probably true.

I’m not just a dollface!

 

[Trevelbond]

Good times, for a change! Now PLEASE just self publish. For a guy who relishes disrupting the status quo, he is unbelievably mired in the traditions of the music business.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Signs that Red Light Pete is doing his job?

Let’s hope more good news is on the horizon.

 

[hand in glove]

I’m proud of him.
Everything will fall into place.

 

[Ryan]

@Ryan booyah!

Booyah!

 

[The Alchemist]

I’m not just a dollface!

 

[The Wild Turkey]

The artists makes the art.
The record company handles the business.
Capitol couldn't handle the business.
Every problem has a solution, but the only
solution Capitol could come up with was to
ask for the money from Moz.
