[DagenhamDan]

Always liked this tune, wish someone would release all these songs properly

 

[Deleted member 29227]

So, could this veiled statement (action/can't waste time anymore/unsung songs) mean:
'I'm done with record companies, & have finally decided to self-release my songs, while I still can'?
(I've avoided any morbid connotations).

 

[ERT]

"Part 1"?

Fantastic!

 

[Lionsy]

Nice, the one from (I think) the Janice long show has been on my phone since he performed it

 

[stux]

This has been youtube for 6 years, they aren't sharing anything new

 

[Uncleskinny]

This song is merely a rewriting of "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris", the choruses of both are virtually identical melodically

 

[NealCassidy]

Is this from the Visconti thing

 

[theprivilegeismine]

These random tracks that have graced YouTube for years really deserve proper releases because they are as good as other people's very best material despite them having been shunned by M himself.

Let's see what exactly Part Deux will bring!

Moz must have enough for a full studio album of tracks that never got a proper studio release. He should record the lot on a new LP, then stick it in the vault along with 'Bonfire' and 'Without Music'.

Unlike your posts on here, all of which are entirely original...

No, Moz is only looking for your money and is far right!

 

[Tbevie]

I’ve never really liked this song, or any of the others he premiered on Janice’s show. I was relieved when they didn’t appear on WPINOYB.

 

[Phranc & Open]

I know who I love

 

[Seymour Glass]

Utterly forgettable

We definitely missed out on a Morrissey studio album around 2011/2012 - all the signs were that it was going to be produced by Visconti, but Moz just couldn't get a deal at the time. A couple of tracks from that period like 'Scandinavia' hung around long enough to sneak onto 'World Peace', but I'm sure the tracklisting would have been substantially different.

A shame to think what might have been. Then again, it probably would have had 'The Kid's a Looker' on it, so maybe I should be thankful it never got off the ground?

 

[morrisseys_gardner]

I un-ironically really like The Kid's a Looker. Edit: upon re-listening, i really, really like it.

 

[Skylarker]

The only song from this batch I didn't like was Scandinavia. And of course that's the one that got officially recorded/released.

 

[gordyboy9]

I un-ironically really like The Kid's a Looker. Edit: upon re-listening, i really, really like it.

think me and you are the only 2 people who like it.
