Morrissey Harvest / WPINOYB Timeline

2014

  • August 9, 2014: TTY - "Harvest Records":

"Three weeks after the release of Morrissey's World Peace Is None Of Your Business (#2 UK, #14 US), Capitol Records/Harvest have ended their relationship with Morrissey, as directed by label boss Steve Barnett. Morrissey is once again in search of a record label."

  • September 5, 2014:Vegan Logic:"Morrissey: "The last thing security forces ever want is peaceful protest":

You said you pushed the label for a proper video for “Istanbul” but they backed off. Have you had a specific idea/narrative for the video?
Yes, it was based on the opening scenes of “West Side Story” with the band and I actually dancing through the streets. Harvest just wouldn’t do it. It was the first snap in our relationship, mainly because they didn’t have any alternative ideas. I don’t mind objections if someone has a better idea. Ultimately the head of Harvest DID have an idea … which was “let’s get rid of Morrissey”… unfathomably silly.

  • October 8, 2014: "f*** Harvest" t-shirts now available at official Harvest merch site.

  • musicbusinessworldwide.com: MORRISSEY SIGNS TO BMG FOR NEW ALBUM, OUT IN NOVEMBER
  • September 1, 2017: 'He's on really good form': BMG's Korda Marshall on Morrissey's comeback - Music Week.

The album is being released on the newly-created Etienne imprint, what will that be used for?

Etienne is Steven in French. We wanted to give him a vehicle where he could do other things, to give him a platform of his own. We felt that was important and he wanted to do that. We had conversations about it and we think it’s a really good approach that he’s got his own label identity, so he can do other things if he wants to.
