RIAA Certifications
Weekly Gold Album Certifications

Title	Artist	Release Date	Label	Cert. Date
Bona Drag	Morrissey	11/6/90	Sire	6/12/00

The Record Industry Association of America awards gold certifications for album sales exceeding 500,000 units.

UPDATE 6/21: After doing a little research, I found the other RIAA certifications:
Viva Hate: released 3/22/88 - certified gold 11/16/93
Hulmerist: released 7/24/90 - certified gold 01/18/91 (50,000 units for video)

Certifications must have been done a bit differently during The Smiths' era: The Queen Is Dead, Louder Than Bombs and "Strangeways, Here We Come" were all certified gold on 9/19/90.

Hi I just received my complimentary copy of the CD mentioned above from at that contest where we were asked to make suggestions for the Moz best of CD. The SRC version is OK, I guess. More interesting is the fact that in their letter that came with the CD they make it sound like Morrissey is a big fan.

Here is the letter in its entirety:

half-a-person is first with the link to the music365 review of the boxset (released on June 19, UK):

I've just come across yet another review of Morrissey's 10 CD singles' and B-side collection.

Rating 8/10. By the way, 'The Singles Collection 1988-1992' mentioned in the review was a bootleg.

While I was looking at my (ahem) second favourite website, 'TV Cream', I came across an article about classic 'Top Of The Pops' moments, including this wonderful little piece of nonsense nostalgia... most people only had one 'moment' each but, as usual, our Moz has to go that little bit further...

Berlin based label Morr Music (named after its owner Mr. Thomas Morr) will shortly be releasing a 2cd compilation entitled 'Putting The Morr Back In Morrissey'. Morr Music is a label specialising in the more melodic side of (non-dance) electronic music. The music on the compilation has nothing to do whatsoever with the artist Morrissey or his music, although one could argue that the melancholic mood featured on many of the tracks reminds of some of Morrissey's more moody moments (hence the title).

There is an article in the June issue of the magazine Pulse! Latino (which can be found at Tower Records locations). It's entitled "Morrissey en Mexico o Como esta noche ha abierto mis ojos, por Jesus Quitero" (translated: Morrissey in Mexico or how this night has opened my eyes). It's in Spanish, but it basically gives a review of Morrissey's show in Mexico, including the setlist. Just for you people who can get a copy...Cheers!

Charles Byron writes: Just another Morrissey mention. This time in a Kirsty MacColl interview at Q Online. (The same old quote that was also used in this Kirsty MacColl Times interview a month ago). Larry was the first with the link to this Pet Shop Boys review at nme.com: "... After shifting into an even tighter, white suit, comfortably equipped with an undone bow tie, [Neil Tennant] grabs an acoustic guitar and is embraced, leading fans through the dysfunctionally gratifying 'You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You’re Drunk'. If Morrissey’s in the crowd, he’s probably taking notes."
