Covers by other artists

The recent changes to the Passions... site with the addition of a section on covers by other artists (http://passionsjustlikemine.com/covers.htm) has got me thinking....

Has anyone ever put together a collection of covers of Morrissey songs?

I know that there has been a substantial collection of Smiths covers posted on here before (can't find them now using "search" sorry) - 10 files equal to 10 CDs.

And Peter has posted "Uncleskinny's Best Cover Versions Compilation" http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t=82254

I've never seen a Morrissey Covers Compilation - I simply don't have enough to even start...but I wonder whether there is one...or whether someone fancies putting one together???

I'm eager with anticipation :)

Thanks for begining to repost the 10 Smiths covers CDs. I wonder if anyone is keeping on top of these an adding new tracks as and when hey are covered....remember the recent Radiohead cover of Headmaster's Ritual and MJ HIbbett released a CD tribute which included Vicar in a Tutu.

Is there an equivalent one for Morrissey Tracks? Or does anyone have enough individual tracks to put together one?

Or, if everyone began to post their individual Morrissey Covers here, I'll volunteer to compile them into one mega file and repost them?

Cheers

I keep all these on a separate Hard Drive. It's a bit of a job to catalogue them all, but it might be worthwhile.

Yes, yes. Very worthwhile :)

Thanks for doing this, Graham. I bought these on ebay a few years ago (before I discovered solo)...are you managing to keep up to date with new covers that are discovered?

Is anyone able to begin to create a similar set for Morrissey - I've been through the Passions... list and I only have a handful :(

Maybe it will be my solo-duty to start collecting them an sharing...
 
Hi Dave

Thats where I got them from as well and again before I knew much about SOLO so always glad to share rather than someone else fall into the E Bay trap with stuff like this:)

Not much in the way of newer covers tho, only whats popped up on here

Graham
 
Well seems no interest in the covers CD,s this time so I am guessing we all have them by now :)
 
For what it's worth, here is an extra one to add to the 10 CDs

MJ Hibbett and the Violators covering Vicar in a Tutu http://www.sendspace.com/file/g3ldg6

When it was released it was briefly mentioned on solo http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t=71806

It's a b-side to a single / EP called "Lesson of the Smiths" - If Stephane is watching, I can't see any reference to this on Passions... (I've used google to search your site) not sure if this is parody or tribute!


If you are interested in buying it http://www.myspace.com/mjhibbett

Enjoy!

Wow I'm surprised this is missing, considering that the band sent me a copy of that single. It'll be added soon.

At last, I've made a positive contribution to solo....it's only taken 3 years :)

Keep up the good work
