September Spawns a Monster

July 12, 2010 By Mike Duquette 2 Comments

From beloved, semi-official Morrissey Web site True to You comes the news that Morrissey's singles compilation Bona Drag (1990) is getting a deluxe reissue for its 20th anniversary with six unreleased vault tracks.

Released between Moz's solo debut in 1988 and Kill Uncle in 1991, Bona Drag included some of the ex-Smiths frontman's best early work, including "Suedehead," "Everyday is Like Sunday," "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" and "Disappointed." Six bonus tracks from the the Viva Hate sessions and beyond will be added to the EMI-reissued, Morrissey-approved package, as well as new cover art and rare photos (the LP sleeve, a still from the video for "November Spawned a Monster," re-colored Morrissey's shirt from black to red, as seen above, and will now go back to black for this reissue).

The set is due out in the U.K. on September 27 on Major Minor Records, the same vintage label from the '60s that had The Dubliners and Johnny Nash which Mozzer looks to be restarting for this set. Come, Armageddon, come after the jump.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
