"Thought I'd revisit my candid shots of Morrissey. This was such a super fun night! This took place at in 1992 at Vinyl Solution in Grand Rapids and was for the midnight release of Your Arsenal. Was a total madhouse. The night even made MTV News. Here's a link to it on YouTube, if you want to check it out: https://youtu.be/KfbqZ0fCLQg Fun looking back at these shots after so many years. As things change with time, Vinyl Solution, which was once a local Gen X mecca, is now a mattress store.

It's cool with me if you want share these shots on social media. Just be cool and credit them and link back to Paul Jendrasiak Photography on Facebook or @pauljendrasiak on Instagram, @pauljendrasiak on X/Twitter, or @pauljendrasiak on TikTok."

All of these photos are just beautiful.

Peak-era MOZI.

It still is "a magical time to be a Morrissey fan.”, no?

No.

I remember when this happened. MTV showed Morrissey arriving and the people lining up to meet him during their news brief. It was exciting. And yes - it's still a magical time to be a Morrissey fan.

I was there and made it in!
Are there more images? Love to see if I made it in!

 

[hand in glove]

yeah, I don’t think Boz could pull that off again.

Yep - that's it! Thanks for posting!

During my ill-fated tenure, one of the things I dug up I hadn't seen before was this from a trade magazine.

 

[Juan Dulces]

Great pics!

He's always looked so clean. Clean clothes, clean hair. He even looks clean with a cat on his head!

Different color markers. Some might be 'paint markers'. Some metallic, black, white, red, blue, etc.

AT LEAST that's what I'd supply Morrissey with if he was doing a signing in MY STORE (which I do not have).

Because after a few signatures the ink doesn’t get to the tip fast enough. Rotating pens makes sure all the signatures are dark. Also a variety of pens for a variety of surfaces.

Haters will say I don’t work in music.

great photos but £72 notes for an 8/10 inch is a bit steep.
if anyone fancies a 30/40 inch it will set you back £444.OUCH.

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

His expressions show an actual interest in those he is interacting with.
