Morrissey Anger At New Smiths Album

added 14 August 2008 at 15.45

Morrissey has reacted angrily to a record label's plans to release a greatest hits album featuring The Smiths.

Warner Music, who took over the ownership of the seminal Manchester band's back catalogue in 1991, are set to issue a new 'Greatest Hits' for the group before the end of the year. The record will line-up alongside other Smiths compilations such as 'Hatful Of Hollow', 'The World Won't Listen', 'Louder Than Bombs', 'Singles', 'Best I', 'Best II' and 'The Very Best of The Smiths'.

In a tersely-worded statement on the website 'True To You', a spokesman for the singer claims "It is understood that Warner Music in London are releasing a Smiths Greatest Hits album in the final quarter of 2008. This release is without Morrissey's approval or involvement."

The statement also reveals why the new Morrissey solo album, 'Years Of Refusal', has been delayed to early 2009. "At the wish of Universal Music, Years Of Refusal has been put back to a February 2 release," it says. "There is also, at this stage, still no US label for the album since Morrissey withdrew from Decca US after their poor promotion for the Greatest Hits release."
