In addition to Morrissey’s forthcoming shows at London’s Eventim Apollo, his Mporium merchandise store will be opening a Pop Up Shop hosted at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
The Pop Up Shop will be open from Friday 18th September until Monday 21st September at 4 Battersea Park Road, London, SW8 4AA
Opening hours are 10.30am until 5pm (last admission 4pm) each day except Monday 21st which will be until 3pm.
Available exclusively at the Pop Up Shop will be a limited amount of Your Arsenal and Vauxhall And I vinyl, signed by Morrissey and accompanied by an engraved, numbered and dated Battersea Dog/Cat tag. 25 of each title will be available on each day of opening and will be strictly limited to one per customer only. Other Morrissey merchandise, exclusive to the pop-up Mporium will also be available to purchase.
Entry to the shop is via the normal £2 donation to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
 
A brilliant morning - an extremely well organised and friendly mpodium Crew made this a lovely experience for those of us who got there early - the 25 sets of vinyl were claimed by fils who arrived by around 930 - I expect that to get earlier from tomorrow. Loads of items which are completely unique to the pop up shop - love the White t shirt with the Battersea design - get there if you can!

Sounds good and I hope you manage to get up early
 
the vinyls im told where bought by members of he band disguised so they wouldnt be recognized by the 2-3 punters actually there to purchase merchandise. boz bought a few, and while jesse came to his turn, boz would modify his costume and return to the queue. it was all done with wonderful precision.
the 2-3 punters bought the tshirts with the cat on moz head. i dont think, from various reports, that any other customers have actually arrived as of today.
maybe the last time you will be able to buy high quality moz merchandise in person in the uk.
 
Look, I'm sorry for being critical of this. I just "see" a lot of "help!" and I feel like I'm trying to help by pointing out how wrong this looks from the point of view of a poor person with discerning brain while having a background in retail. I'm not trying to rip Morrissey a new asshole. I do think he needs to let real PR people do his PR including the merch which it seems he's made a family thing. It's tough to take serious a man and his artistry whose shlepping cheap shit made from China with a 400% markup while he's inside the venue calling out fat fat fat people making the crowd generally feel like shit about what they eat and look like as they exit the theater, "But be sure to spend half-a-day's minimum wage work on a sweatshirt as you leave!" There's a disconnect between the stage show and greedy merch stand. Correct me if I'm wrong and tiny Morrissey-emblazoned nunchucks counter the cost of shipping a barely used gong around the world, I'll shut the f*** up. I just miss the days of ONE tour, ONE shirt to match that tour and maybe a program. Simplicity. Now it's like a BUY BUY BUY COLLECT COLLECT COLLECT circus and the finesse of a beautiful falsetto or subtle lyric change gets lost in the money of it all.

I should just stfu and leave.

you don't have to apologize for being critical, cg. if you've been getting hammered on here lately it's not due to criticism per se, it's criticism without facts. fiction is the prevailing standard around here so i'm not sure why you get singled out for not being accurate, but there you go.
 
A few left truly dissapointed and empty handed when they learnt that Mozzers short legged baggy ankle wafters were sold to Warwick Davis!

I see what you did there...
