Morrissey is never one to do things the accustomed way, instead throughout his career he’s carved a niche in the musical landscape which only he can occupy. His decision to curate a brand new compilation with new liner notes and a few surprises in the tracklisting shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. This Is Morrissey is a collection of studio classics, live tracks and the alternative Mael mix of the ever-popular ‘Suedehead’, all chosen by the man himself. “The album is so full of life, and worthy questions, and great choruses, and quite playful,” Morrissey says.
