Album of the Day

Morrissey surpassed the commercial success of his former band The Smiths after the singer-lyricist launched a solo career in 1988. Over the next 10 years, “Moz” released six studio albums and a string of hit singles before going on a brief recording hiatus, and his most memorable work as a solo artist up to that point was collected on THE BEST OF MORRISSEY in 2001. That classic compilation has just received its first-ever vinyl release as a 2-LP set featuring tracks from each of the performer's solo albums and several single sides. Among the many highlights are “Everyday Is Like Sunday,” “Hairdresser On Fire,” “”Sing Your Life” and “The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get.” Along with a standard pressing, THE BEST OF MORRISSEY is available on clear vinyl exclusively from Rhino.com (limited to 500 copies).
