I would say he has resigned himself to the fact that Miley has to be removed and that he has to pay back his advance. I cannot see Capitol now putting the record out, he has accused them of too much.
So, then we have an album with no blockers and Morrissey is free to move it forward. I think we...
In the tweet that Scott sent he says Columbia only asked for Miley not to be credited as a featured artist. So someone did some negotiation and at least got them to compromise from their earlier position of “we are not clearing anything for MC right now”.
Capitol assumed we were all good to go...
I’m not an expert in non-repudiation but I would say it does have his name on it.
It isn’t a fan site posting leaked or theories about who is doing what. It is his official online presence and it has a section called “Messages from Morrissey” a place where he has posted video and text messages...
The deal to release Bonfire was clearly compromised on the very first message that Morrissey announced it. This was the first message and he shot himself in the foot. I’ve always wondered why Capitol never announced the deal or put him in their artist roster but the sad fact is Morrissey ignored...
Just on the point about it being unreasonable to expect Morrissey to lie. Nobody asked him to, they just for the participation of their “employee” to be uncredited. Like it or not, by the time this came around to being released Miley was under contract with Columbia, she had agreed terms...
Yes. They ‘would’ have released it without Miley, that is the reason this is all blowing up in Morrissey’s face, they were happy to proceed but he wouldn’t budge on removing Miley after he had announced she was on the record (with he wasn’t supposed to do)
whether they would release it now...
I think Morrissey should let the album come out without Miley, I really should. Just mute her vocal and move on, unlock his career. This could all be sorted in a day.
If he is so desperate for us to hear her vocal he can arrange for it to be leaked after the album has launched. Everyone now...
He wouldn’t be in artist management if he was a shrinking violet. Record companies are difficult to deal with and so are artists so it must take a certain character!
It really comes to something when the manager, even the former manager, is sticking up for the record company.
I’ve just read Scott again, paraphrasing: Morrissey is the sole reason BOT isnt released yet he will not accept the blame. Record companies won’t work with him for this reason,
I think he is doing ok. He is cutting through the crap and getting things cleared up. Miley does hold a key to unlocking this. It is either her and her label that give way and or it is Morrissey.
Maybe someone should arrange to fly a plane over Morrissey’s hotel or the venue of his next gig.
Any thoughts on what we would write?
Mozi, stop being a dick?
seems the only way for Morrissey to release is for Miley to be removed either by remastering without her or deleting the track. That’s it, end of.
all this talk of buying the album back, this might be convenient for Capitol but it doesn’t get Morrissey into a place where he can release. The...
