If I was going to a desert island, it’s the LP I’d take. It strangely sounds slightly different and slightly better every time I hear it.
Though it doesn’t have the seamless quality of V&I it really does keep giving in every sense: given the opportunity to address the problem of the sleeve art with the rerelease, Morrissey blessed us with a cover equally odd.
And it has arguably his greatest ever song in Trouble Loves Me, and perhaps his two oddest in Roy’s Keen and Sorrow Will Come.
I was working abroad at the time, but I would’ve loved to have attended the Battersea gig c.1997. Was Ammunition not played there?
