Morrissey - The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get 7"



So, I've never put a Morrissey track up before, so let's test the water and see if it stays up, or I get told off again. Morrissey, for those of you who recognise him as a bloated figure of fun off festival TV from around the world, used to be great. I guess that's a bit harsh. He's still coming up with good songs every now and then, but there's growing old gracefully and there's Morrissey live.

This single is one of the really great ones, and you probably know it already, as it's been repackaged and reissued numerous times. There are some good lines on this one. The b-side, which maybe you don't know so well, is a quiet one. It's a nice enough track, and if you like the man (as I do) you'll enjoy it.

As with many of my records, for some reason I never took the price label off. No idea why not, but I'm kind of fond of those labels now - brings back memories of little shops that disappeared long ago (and the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street).
