Not a mock-up after all.
Odd track list - Satellite... and including the Mael mix!?
Opinions?

I could be wrong but I reckon this must be the 8th or 9th solo compilation - if you include Bona Drag - which isn't so bad in thirty years. The Smiths released three in four years after all.

No no no.
I'm not saying Moz isn't gay, but the stalls, circle & balcony are simply the 3 areas of seating in a theatre. Maybe 'balcony gay' is relevant, but he doesn't say that, he says 'balcony fool'. So I don't really think this is anything more than prurience.

It's an extended metaphor. He's not actually describing a night at the theatre :rolleyes: He says 'balcony fool' because he's calling himself a fool for not feeling able to join in.

Well, interesting, but Family Line was an 8 track promo and Rare Tracks was a 6 track import - so they're not albums. And those two CD singles boxsets weren't either though possibly they did release a three CD version later. None of them I would regard alongside the official compilation albums personally.

For those interested:
The album cover photo is 12 years old and by Sarah Kerver - it is a 'stock' Getty-owned image.
It is from The SXSW Film and Music Festival: Austin, Texas - 16.03.06.

He is describing going to see the lisping man in various theatres, in different seats, in the surface meaning (some in future tense). The question is, is there a hidden ref to gay sex...i don't think so
 
That's a nice looking retro cover, but a pointless selection of tracks. "The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye"? If I made a list of my least favorite songs, this would probably be in the top three. Barely even good enough to be a b-side much less the album track it somehow inexplicably was.
 
A less salacious explanation is offered in Mozipedia:

"‘Lucky Lisp’ (Morrissey/Street), B-side of ‘THE LAST OF THE FAMOUS INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS’ (1989).
More evidence that Morrissey can’t resist a good (or perhaps bad) pun, ‘Lucky Lisp’ makes consonant-swapping mirth of the LEIBER AND STOLLER tune ‘Lucky Lips’, a top five UK hit for Cliff Richard in May 1963. Serenading a friend, Morrissey enthusiastically predicts that their speech impediment will bring them fame, fortune and mass adulation, even picturing himself one day ‘gurgling’ with the fans in the upper circles. A slight, if supremely catchy, Morrissey morsel, its prominent pulsing synthesiser couldn’t disguise the fact Street’s sugary melody was one of his more Smiths-conscious offerings, granted a suitably jangly guitar gloss by Craig GANNON"

IIRC, not sure there were any sexual undertones offered to explain it on release (no pun intended).
Maybe my flower-like life was more innocent back then ;)

FWD.

Well that certainly fits with the guest list line. There was also the rumor it was inspired by Marc Bolan whom he’s admired over the years. Couldn’t find any reference to a nine leaf clover as gay lingo either. Great song though, super catchy
 
next time I phone a theatre to book tickets,if the person on the phone says would you like the stalls, the circle, or the balcony I will burst out laughing and tell her to wash her mouth out with soap.

"Prominent pulsing synthesizer?" Please, don't give Peppermint any more ammunition! :ha-no:
 
Is this some kind of contractual obligation that he owes these record companies? If not, I cannot fathom the point of it.
