"Thought I'd revisit my candid shots of Morrissey. This was such a super fun night! This took place at in 1992 at Vinyl Solution in Grand Rapids and was for the midnight release of Your Arsenal.

It is now five years since the last Morrissey record release. On 20 March 2020, I Am Not A Dog On A Chain was released by BMG Records, who then dropped Morrissey. The album reached number 3 in the UK, and number 18 in the USA. No single releases were issued from this album.

There were 2 videos, 3 digital 'instant grat' releases from this album and a remix 'single'.
(Besides the album, selling physical products and gigging pretty much ceased during Covid).
