While Morrissey has recently cancelled another round of live shows originally scheduled for the U.K. and Europe, the English singer has released This is Morrissey, a new,  budget-priced 12-track collection of studio and live tracks.  The compilation will arrive on August 31 on vinyl with one additional bonus track.

This is Morrissey, sporting a retro-style jacket, goes back to the artist's 1988 solo debut Viva Hate for "Everyday is Like Sunday" and continues with selections from 1991's Kill Uncle ("The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye"), 1992's Your Arsenal ("You're the One for Me, Fatty") and 1994's Vauxhall and I ("Speedway").  It also culls tracks from various singles including some first anthologized on the 1990 compendium Bona Drag.  The "Mael Mix" of "Suedehead," first released on a 2012 Record Store Day vinyl single, makes its CD debut here as does a live version of "Satellite of Love" recorded at Las Vegas' Chelsea Ballroom in 2011.

Fiona Dodwell has provided new liner notes.  The vinyl iteration of This is Morrissey adds one more cut from Viva Hate, "Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together," for a total of 13 songs.  Morrissey's world tour is currently scheduled to resume on November 23 in Mexico City.  In the meantime, this offbeat sampler from the musical iconoclast is out now on CD, and due August 31 on vinyl.  You'll find order links and discographical annotation just below!
