My record guru has not 1 bit of information on it and suggested to me that a 10 day window from announcement (only by Central) to market is extremely unusual even with a small label. There is a digital release penned in for that date though.
Could be misinformation or jumping the gun. Won't be the first time.
FWD.

Its all very Moz Central isn't it.

The sleeve will be for the STDIB single, which once you move past the broken link, isn't currently available to pre-order.

On Radio 2 Dana said herself that there was a 7” single available.

Bizarre song to choose - Morrissey's version is one of his weakest singles.

Bizarre song to choose - Morrissey's version is one of his weakest singles.

Not a favourite of mine but one of his most successful ever from an airplay point of view. Only First of the Gang got as much airplay. It provided impressive first week sales for Low in High School (despite awful reviews) and powered the ticket sales for his biggest ever UK solo tour in early 2018. Most tickets sold in 2017 i.e. just before all the shit was hitting the fan in relation to Der Spiegel, UKIP, Anne Waters etc.

 

[Les Tameside]

A fabulous song; very catchy. Assuming it’s sensibly priced, I’ll be buying it.

Having revived the format, it’s noticeable that stores and record companies seem to have half an eye on taking vinyl to the brink once more. I’m still recovering from the Interlude price.

 

[Loup]

Oh my god – Marc !!! What an unexpected crossover !!!

 

[Phranc & Open]

Link works now, release date pushed back to the 10th of May.

 

[Mimi Ramone]

Okay cover, overall I like Morrissey's version better (and I really like the song to begin with) although the rocky outro on Dana's version is really good. What did M do to the sleeve art? Chose the photo and the font?

Yeah. And added his trademark “very stereo” and “listen loud” watermarks to the bottom corners. And the rpm thing in the middle.

 

[Dusty Miller's Hornpipe]

if only RPM was in the middle... I've just noticed its off centre and my OCD is really starting to kick in. I can never look at it again

 

[Mimi Ramone]

Mhm, yeah. Not what I would consinder mindblowing but better than BOT for sure. I mean it's just some fonts splashed on a photo and they don't even work that well with the photo. But he is always good in choosing good looking / fitting photos

 

[CJM]

So, it appears to be 250 copies on black vinyl, and a further 250 copies pressed on “Translucent Orange” vinyl. I imagine a fair few of these will be snapped up by hardcore Morrissey completists. It is news I suppose, but not very exciting!

Indeed.
I don't think my indie shop owner's observations were mutually exclusive of that fact. "Could be misinformation or jumping the gun" seems accurate in this case - I don't think the date was ever 'pushed back' to May either. Buying in sheets are already close to the end of May for the majority of labels, so April wasn't ever that realistic?
FWD.

Lovely cover, and a lovely cover of one of Morrissey’s best songs.

Said in another post… I’m preferring it over the original! blasphemous! I know!
The harpsichord really makes it jump! more lively, and the rock parts give it a kick with more edge and needed contrast. Her vocal delivery and take on this is wonderful. And I’m sure it made him smile, when he heard she was going to cover it.

It's all about the fonts
