Re: Bona Drag reissue, remastered, extra tracks

This will not be the last time he asks us to re-buy "Bona Drag", either.

I'm guessing we will all have bought and re-bought each album, Smiths and solo, about four or five times by the time we die. How wonderful to contemplate!

Oh, isn't this the "Morrissey Morbid T-Shirt" thread?

Sorry but am I in a minority of one here? Without wishing to "dial-a-cliche" how f***ing gullible are the hardcore Morrissey audience?

Bona Drag was perfect. In 1990. Why meddle with it? More money? Unhappy with the artwork? (which was brilliant) More shameless sel-promotion ahead of the inevitable autobiography and global tour?

Sorry why such revisionism? Hooray for the extra tracks I guess but 4 or 5 releases in the last 2 years that are futile. The planet is dying and the music industry is on it's last legs....but you can always rely on a cheap repackage from His Master's Voice.

And who is going to buy this? Thats Swords chart placing will look positively beatific in comparison.

Sad news how a once great artist continues to bleed as much money as possible from the remnants of a once great career.

We could ask all 779 of us.

I've always disliked the color job on Morrissey's shirt. I'm so pleased it will go back to its proper black. Really that was the only blemish on an otherwise fantastic release, and I'm thrilled this tragedy has been rectified. One day I hope he'll reissue "The Queen Is Dead" with Elizabeth on the cover. Couldn't get the rights to her image, I suppose, but Alain Delon? That was a head-scratcher, eh?

Also, the spesh edish'll be on 180g vinyl! Which, I'm pretty certain, has a higher 'g'-factor than my old EMI vinyl. Me, I like heavier albums. There's a...heavier...sound. These days I won't truck with anything less than 180g. Now let's get on with the 6.1 Blu-Ray edition just in time for the next generation of home audio-video components to come out. "Hulmerist" in 3-D? Please God make it happen.

I bet the exiting news coming up in the next month is a new record deal. Thats it.

Re: Bona Drag reissue, remastered, extra tracks

Seriously if it was this possible boxset rumour that was doing the rounds then that would be more acceptable than this shoddy re-release. With tracks that weren't deemed good enough in the early 90s but are now deemed worthy of an official release?

Wonder if the Rick Astley photo will make the booklet. I wait with no bated breath at all.

Re: Bona Drag reissue, remastered, extra tracks

Then, you should know, that the album has already been issued as a 180g vinyl in '95. Smartass.

Why is your emoticon nervous?

Re: Bona Drag reissue, remastered, extra tracks

If they were gonna release Hulmerist again, it better bloody have the whole Wolverhampton 88 gig instead of one song! I listened to all those extra tracks on Bona Drag 2 fecken years ago! It's crap!
Edit: my point proven above the post, we've listened to them already, Moz! What else have you got?
