Morrissey’s 7″ Singles Box Sets – UPDATE
I posted too soon about his singles box set. It turns out that Morrissey does NOT want us to purchase them. He isn’t getting a dime from the release of his own music. This really sucks and is one of the many reasons why people hate record companies.
“Morrissey receives no royalty payments from EMI for any back catalogue, and has not received a royalty from EMI since 1992. Morrissey also does not approve of, and was not consulted on, the Rhino box of Smiths CDs, or the Warner releases of Smiths LPs on 180 gramme vinyl.”
That just sucks.
