You read it correctly, I've made no mistake.

Have always had a lot of time for Kill Uncle. The highlight of the album was always There is a Place in Hell. Morrissey at his very best. It was the early 90s and a great time to be alive. And all the 90s albums that came after were superb - Your Arsenal, Vauxhall, Southpaw, and (maybe less so) Maladjusted. Probably Morrissey's best decade. A great decade for music in general.

Agreed Gash, an album that totally seemed out of step with the times, was made at a difficult time for Moz, he seemed a bit lost and this album reflects that, wonderfully.
I was proper pissed off when he took the beautiful and haunting piano version of There's a Place and swapped it for the bloody KROQ version which killed the reissue for me.
Changing the subject, my art teachers name at school was Mrs Gash. Lovely lady but received a load of abuse for that name.

Yes replacing the piano version was terrible. He really has committed vandalism on some of his classic albums.
Poor Mrs Gash. Kids can be so cruel. My sister is a teacher and in her school they recently had a Miss Ho. The boys, as you can imagine, gave her no end of grief.

 

[Redacted]

Good Lord. I love it. I sometimes wonder if he means to be funny, or he just is. I think he just is.

I agree, he's just naturally witty.

*Braces for impact* I disagree with you both, I love the reissue version. I personally don't think the piano version fits the general vibe of the lyrics/song. I will say I have heard the reissue version more than the piano version, so that could be why.. but no, I don't fully think that why -- my previous statement still stands.

Stick on a pair of headphones Ash and whack the original up loud, it was recorded very basically. You can hear lots of backround noise as the piano was just intended as a demo, apparently.
Just adds to the sparseness (is that an actual word?)

Will do!

I don't know if you've read this, it's what he had to say about Kill Uncle

Recording something for the sake of recording delivered Kill Uncle unto the world, and I am finally up against the limits of my abilities, whilst surely not fooling anybody. Having been so right, it is suddenly shocking to be so wrong, yet Kill Uncle is number 8 in England and number 52 in the US. It will always be the orphaned imp that nobody wants, and even I – its father and mother – find it difficult to feed

One can only wonder what Kill Uncle could have been had Morrissey worked with Mark E. Nevin and allowed him to flesh out and develop what were just demos, not completed tracks. Morrissey's disdain for Kill Uncle was apparent when he didn't play anything from it on the YA tour the following year... and it remained so until Our Frank was in recent years dusted off and given life again. I hope a few more of those tracks see the light of day again.

Yeah, Ash, short for Ashley.
your point is ?

He actually did a Kill Uncle tour, it was the first time I saw him, July 1991. I saw the Your Arsenal tour in September 1992.
He did Our Frank, Asian Rut, Sing Your Life, King Leer, Mute Witness, There's a Place in Hell. I don't remember him doing anything from it on the Your Arsenal tour.
Or did I just completely misunderstand you and you were implying there was KU tour and he never played songs from it again until recently?

Both were great setlists, I wish he'd do setlists like that again.

A lovely little problem child: Kill Uncle. It's ok Morrissey, I'll feed him for you.

Kill Uncle was released 2 months before I was born, so it's kind of like my irish twin brother.

And Morrissey is both your father and mother. He'd probably feed you.

He does feed me! Every day!

Morrissey is only 6 months older than my actual father.

Maybe they are Irish twins too

And my Dad does have Irish on his side! I do believe my great grandparents on his side are from Ireland.

Yeah, I meant he never played them after the Kill Uncle tour.
