Morrissey is in chaos after the cancellation of the release of “BONFIRE OF TEENAGERS” and the announcement of a further new work “WITHOUT MUSIC THE WORLD DIES”. An original recording that allows you to experience the latest stage has arrived.
“Performance in Paris on March 9, 2023” is imbued in this work. It is a super-superb audience recording that vacuum-packed the whole story. As previously mentioned, things have been somewhat chaotic lately with Morrissey. In order to organize that area, let’s first review his recent situation with his schedule.

● 2022

・ July 1-9: North America # 2 (5 performances)
・ September 24th-October 14th: UK # 1 (10 performances)
《October 29: Contract with Capitol Records》
・ November 11th-December 4th: North America # 3 (10 performances)
《November 25th: Single “Rebels Without Applause” released》
《December 23rd: Leaving the Capitol》
● 2023

《Completed “WITHOUT MUSIC THE WORLD DIES” on February 20》
・ March 8-19: Europe (7 performances) ← here
・ July 8-22: UK #2 (7 performances)

This is the 2022/2023 Morrissey that has been announced to date. Initially, “BONFIRE OF TEENAGERS” was scheduled to be released in February 2023, but the slump of the preceding single “Rebels Without Applause” caused a discrepancy between Morrissey and Capitol Records. Morrissey left the label himself, while leaving the rights to the new work with Universal (the parent company of Capitol) (at that time, it seems that he made an order such as “If you release it, remove Miley Cyrus’ backing vocals.”) is). In the end, Universal (Capitol) canceled the release plan itself. “BONFIRE OF TEENAGERS” is a phantom album. Even the details alone are confusing, but in the meantime Morrissey produced a further new work “WITHOUT MUSIC THE WORLD DIES”. It seems that the distribution has not been decided yet, but it is scheduled to be released at the end of 2023.
I touched on the recent situation at length, but this situation is deeply related to this work. In fact, Morrissey’s latest tour shows two new songs from the studio. So let’s clean up that latest set here.

– New songs (4 songs)
・BONFIRE OF TEENAGERS: Rebels Without Applause / Sure Enough, The Telephone Rings
・WITHOUT MUSIC THE WORLD DIES：Without Music The World Dies／The Night Pop Dropped
● Classics (16 songs)
・THE SMITHS era: Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before/Girlfriend In A Coma/Half A Person/Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want/Sweet And Tender Hooligan
・Solo (80’s/90’s) Our Frank/The Loop/Everyday Is Like Sunday/Trouble Loves Me/Jack The Ripper
・Solo (after 2000s) Irish Blood, English Heart/The Bullfighter Dies/Istanbul/I Wish You Lonely/Jim Jim Falls/Knockabout World

… and it looks like this. A wide selection of representative songs from THE SMITHS to “YOU ARE THE QUARRY” account for half, and the other half is a balance of recent works after “WORLD PEACE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS”. The point is, of course, the new songs from the two popular works “BONFIRE OF TEENAGERS” and “WITHOUT MUSIC THE WORLD DIES”, and a total of 4 songs are shown, 2 songs each. As mentioned above, only “Rebels Without Applause” was officially released as a single, and the remaining three songs convey the scenery of the new work that has not yet been seen.
Although the order has been reversed, the sound of this work, which conveys such a show, is superb! It’s an original recording only for this work brought in by our own route, but its quality is like a sound board … no, it’s “just like an official work” class. Completely close contact with zero distance, detailed details up to the deep bass vibe, breathtaking vocals with a wonderful separate feeling …. Even if you check all kinds of items, it is more than a perfect score. It is said that it is an audience through its own route, so I introduced it as such, but I can not get rid of my doubts that it is really a customer record!
“BONFIRE OF TEENAGERS”, which should have been enjoyed a long time ago, has become an oddity, and the release date of the already completed “WITHOUT MUSIC THE WORLD DIES” is still unknown. Although it is a frustrating situation, this work allows you to enjoy the new song with a completely official-class sound. A new name board instead of the official that teaches “Morrissey’s latest form”. Please enjoy the super-superb sound that you can only enjoy with this work.

★ Ultra-superb audience recording of “Paris performance on March 9, 2023”. It is an original billion sound only for this work excavated by its own route, and its sound is completely official grade. A feeling of close contact with zero distance, detailed details down to the deep bass vibe, vocals at a breathtaking level with a wonderful separate feeling … even if you check all kinds of items, it is more than a perfect score. You can also enjoy 4 songs “Rebels Without Applause”, “Sure Enough, The Telephone Rings”, “Without Music The World Dies” and “The Night Pop Dropped” from new works that are unlikely to be released with official grade sounds.
