  • So - what happenned to Gary Day's writing credit on 'Let the Right One Slip In'? According to the re-issue sleeve it's now only written by Morrissey/Whyte?

  • The Bona Drag remastered has a bit more omph about it.Piccadilly Palare is the version with the extra verse.I love Happy Lover's at last united and the rest of the unreleased songs.Shame Sandie Shaw is not singing with Moz on Please Help The cause Against Loneliness.Over all it's brilliant .Great it's released.Got it from HMV in Swindon.Shame it wasn't on show down stairs.Had to look under Morrissey to find it.

  • I always always buy Morrissey records on the very same day they are released (I'm lucky I live in a city centre with a very good record shop nearby). However I didn't get a chance to get there by closing time today....I have already read in the forums the remastering is SUPERB....What are the booklet/sleeves like?

    I may be a sub-species, but at least I kept all my appointments this week. Will this even make the top 100?

  • Amazon lists it as coming out on October 19th in America. But it also says that it is an import, so maybe we're forced to buy it from the UK. Still unclear.

  • It's great that there are never-before-listen tracks. Not regrets buying it. I just wish the cover was better. It looks extremely amateur, dull and boring. What's that computer gothic writing about? I wish they had put the original photograph on the cover including the sky and a better writing.

    i had to pre-order this album on amazom since i live in the u.s. but honestly, its well worth the wait. i remember buyin my original bona drag 11 years ago, so when i saw that it was going to be remastered i jumped for it. the addition of the songs 'lifegaurd on duty', 'please help the cause' and 'lovers united' are awesome, any long term moz fan would love this album just for the addition of those songs. a very good buy, and for anyone who has to pre-order the album, well worth the wait. i've waited years for 'please help the cause' to be officially released. just the significance of bona drag alone for most of us is memorable. so i feel that the remaster/anniversary edition is a great addition to any moz collection, unlike the 'maladjusted' remastered which i personnally did not like since i loved the original maladjusted album. anyways... i'm excited

  • This is a long shot, but does anyone know of a place in NYC who is carrying this? I went to Kim's on 1st Avenue, which I was certain would have it, but no luck.

    I'd love to have a clean copy of "Oh Phoney" for a Morrissey party I'm doing on Wednesday; that's why I need it quick; thanks!

  • Seems strange to remaster an album to apparently make it sound better while adding two terrible songs like Happy lovers and Lifeguard. When you put them along side Bona Drag's classic tracks they just sound embarrassing to say the least. Hmmm now where are those two songs I did years ago that I didn't think should be on my album? As for the loneliness, phoney they sound great! Very Moz like indeed. Let the right one slip in? How is a Your Arsenal B side on Bona Drag?

    I'm enjoying Yes I am Blind a lot. The crowd shouting at the end of Truly Disappointed, which sounds great too, is quite funny; studio-inserted?

    Great driving CD : )

  • I would love to know what people think of Everyday is like Sunday, what is conjurs up in there heads, what they realte to in it. Sundays as that time in England where very dreary, everythinh was closed, no shops open, no where to go and so boring, 4 channels on telly and no internet, sunday alcohol trading laws, so just wondered if anyone can let me know.

  • Makes me feel very sad, as Hastings Pier has burnt down today and seems so fitting to be hearing this very loud. So sad seeing it on the news, and a shame.

  • i've never been a fan of his re-issued stuff, but i do love when there's different versions of old songs & new or unreleased material.Whatever he does is wonderful...I don;t like it though when big record labels try to make $$$ on stuff that 's not worth buying again, well at least not for the old fans! For the new it should be the best thing they ever bought in their life!
