He’s outlived Elvis, he’s out sung Sinatra, and he is the traditional Torch singer, recast in a modern mould.

Witty, erudite, not ashamed to work the crowd, or to expose his weaknesses - though how much of his work is a fictional retelling of his own self-image is unclear - Moz is what Elvis should have been. There are still the grand gestures, the traditional shirt-thrown-into-the-adoring-crowd ritual, the touching of hands with the masses: Moz offers us some form of contact, yet we only ever get a brush with his messanic healing hands. It’s some respects it’s all tease, and yet in others, it’s all pleasing.

2004 has proved to be Morrissey’s most successful year to date. The release of “You Are the Quarry” garnered Morrissey a new generation of fans and an impressive set of accolades.

Morrissey’s critically acclaimed world tour came to the end in the UK with an astonishing sold out show at London’s Earl’s Court. This album is comprised of this show as well as a handful of other arena dates across the UK. This is the first time that you’ll be able to hear rarely performed and universally adored Smiths tracks including ‘How Soon Is Now’, ‘Bigmouth Strikes Again’, ‘There’s a Light That Never Goes Out’ and ‘Shoplifters of The World Unite’. The Stella track listing also has Moz Solo classics ‘November Spawned a Monster’, ‘The More You Ignore Me the Closer I Get’ and new gems ‘First of The Gang’ and ‘Irish Blood English Heart’ and rare B Sides ‘Munich Air Disaster’ and a Patti Smith cover of ‘Redondo Beach’.

This is the Ultimate Morrissey Live Album. An obvious must have for Morrissey’s new fan base and his legion of Dire Hard devotees.
