Morrissey is never one to do things the accustomed way, instead throughout his career he’s carved a niche in the musical landscape which only he can occupy. And his decision to curate a brand new compilation at very short notice ahead of his tour dates, with new liner notes and a few surprises in the tracklisting, shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. So here it is, This Is Morrissey. A collection of studio classics, live tracks and the alternative Mael mix of the ever-popular Suedehead, all chosen by the man himself. “The album is so full of life, and worthy questions, and great choruses, and quite playful.”
