MESSAGES FROM MORRISSEY on MORRISSEY CENTRAL

www.morrisseycentral.com

Morrissey is ‘too diverse’ for Universal Music Group.
Capitol Records (Los Angeles) will not, after all, release Morrissey’s 2021 album ‘Bonfire of Teenagers’. At the same time, Capitol Records (Los Angeles) are holding on to the album.

Although Morrissey officially signed to Capitol Records Los Angeles, there has been no mention of Morrissey on Capitol’s website or on their Artists roster.

Morrissey has said that although he does not believe that Capitol Records in Los Angeles signed ‘Bonfire of Teenagers’ in order to sabotage it, he is quickly coming around to that belief.

Could this be the good news we are so needing right now?

 

[Famous when dead]

Checking the (UK) YT version this morning, I see another:

IIP-DDS is a distribution company (owned by "Fuga").
I'd say the regional variations of who 'provided' the track to YT is more reflective of digital rights management than anything to do with an album release.
Would happily be wrong on this occasion.
FWD.

It hasn't changed on US Spotify:

[Famous when dead]

If it helps: Second Wind & IIP-DDS appear to be companies that are dealing with the track streaming via video platforms. I wouldn't expect the Spotify credits to change unless something major comes along.
FWD.

So my only mistake is I‘m hoping

 

[Mozzer1980]

I found videos of other artists (Henrik Lindstrand, Penny Rimboud ..)
which are provided to youtube by Second Wind ltd .
Of course, their music is published by One Little Independent...

*
IIP-DDS version appeared on YouTube on November 25, 2022. Second Wind Ltd version. appeared yesterday.This really makes me think

My conspiracy theory is:
Morrissey bought the rights to Bonfire Of Teenagers back from Capitol.
Details for this album to be released on an independent label (OLI) are currently being finalized,
Please don't wake me up from this dream. Let it last

I have the same dream

It‘s more than frustrating.

It shouldn’t be too long, just sometime between now and the heat death of the universe.

I just hope it gets released within the next 30 years before my hearing starts to deteriorate.

They'll probably release it with a bonus hearing aid by then anyway.

Tbh, I’ve forgotten what Rebels Without Applause even sounds like at this point, and it’s lyrics, apart from girls gone wrong something something.

 

[The.Boy.Racer]

Let's remain optimistic, years ending in '4' are good years for Moz in terms of album release:

1984 The Smiths (February)
1994 Vauxhall And I (March)
2004 You Are The Quarry (May)
2014 World Peace Is None Of Your Business (July)
2024 Bonfire Of Teenagers (?)

So Moz, what month is that gonna be?

You won't need them if you don't get it.

 

[Orange Crush]

You won't need them if you don't get it.

Maybe I will still need them - I wouldn't like to hear a neighbour playing it.

Have you heard the album?

He prefers the big labels... and then pays the consequences.
