I think they should release the M.E.N. DVD

So it could still be Daddy's Voice? I really hope so.

well if they dont release the dvd then that would be just so damning! for gods sake moz aint going to be around forever and it would be nice to have something to show for all the great memories to pass on to my children and so forth! also it would be the greatest thankyou his lordship could ever give......if we deserve one that is??

more B-Sides!!!!

Why go through the trouble of filming the concert for just a single video, and then put the less interesting version on the single as well? It seems like a bit of a waste, especially considering it was a brilliant show.

I was looking forward to this as a Christmas present, I wonder if they might still release a DVD, just not of the MEN gig exclusively? Fingers crossed!

Yeppers... bit of a shame if it isn't released. I still think it will be.

Why is it that the more important an artist is, the worse their back catalogue gets treated? This is barn crud. Release the DVD. There are at least 20,000 people out there who'd get it, for god's sake. What possible reason is there not to release it? I hate everything. Apart from Morrissey. And crisps. And Wimbledon.

Do you think they are having problems getting legal clearance for the Smiths songs? It would be a shame not to release the whole show.

I'm familiar with ToBeD(etermined), ToBeS(een), and ToBeA(nnounced), but what the heck is TBC short for?

that the next single remains 'Let Me Kiss You'- the more ithink about it the more ithink that this is the song made for release, more than 'The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores' and 'I Like You'. im still pretty sure that it will be the next single as evidenced by the Kilborn performance taped but not yet aired. fingers crossed for the following tracklisting:

Let Me Kiss You
Home Is A Question Mark
The Public Image
The Slum Mums

I wonder if they are toying with the idea of releasing "I Have Forgiven Jesus".

It certainly seemed to get a good reaction at the Move Festival.

A shame if they aren't going to release the DVD, but hardly surprising given past experiences with films that didn't make the light of day (The Alexandra Palace show...The Royal Albert Hall...South With Morrissey). Introducing Morrissey was delayed to the point that I didn't think it'd see the light of day.

And they wonder why the bootleg trade continues to flourish!

a statement containing nothing whatsoever.
amazing stuff. wot a great contact to have.
now u can call me a sarcastic, cynic.

We the below signed demand the release of the M.E.N DVD that you are fiendishly hourding in your vaults, we will pay a ransom of £14.99 each. Leave the item for collection in a public place (such as a Virgin/HMV megastore) and your kids will remain unharmed.....

Let Me Kiss You is being listed on the German version of Amazon as am import CD available from 20th September.

Maybe it's very good news for those who are patiently waiting for the dvd release of the Olympia gig in Paris in september 2002.
I'm sure it's this gig that sanctuary will
finaly release (remember the concert was shot with
10 or more cameras). Believe me you won't be
disappointed, this show was the best of the tour.

I would really love one!
The thought of the M.E.N. concert released is lovely. It was a memorable occasion...Moz returning to his city after so long and on his birthday noneless...fingers crossed :)

I heard I Like You being played in a Manchester record shop today. I'd strongly expect it to be the next single. (It sounded great. V. commercial, though it doesn't *really* take off till the 'you're not right in the head' section starts ...

to mr.anonymous with the short memory who made the stated in this thread that he believed 'Home Is A Question Mark', 'The Public Image' and 'The Slum Mums' [all likely to be released as b-sides for the upcoming single(s)] to be unfinished, here is a reminder dug up from the morrissey-solo archives:

MORRISSEY NEWS

looking back, its interesting to see how this list starts off in the exact track sequencing of the album with 'Teenage Dad On His Estate' replacing 'Let Me Kiss You' and 'The Never-Played Symphonies' and 'The Slum Mums' in place of 'All The Lazy Dykes', with no mention of those songs which did make '...Quarry' nor any mention of b-sides 'Munich Air Disaster, 1958', 'My Life Is An Endless Succession Of People Saying Goodbye', and 'Mexico' [which of course debuted live in 2002, well before the studio release] or the oft-played 'Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice' and Raymonde cover, 'No One Can Hold A Candle To You'. it makes you wonder if 'Teenage Dad...', 'The Slum Mums' and '...Symphonies' were at some point slated to be on the album. it also makes you wonder if Morrissey has recorded other gems that we still hav not yet heard of even existing. ieagerly await the release of the three songs confirmed by Jerry Finn to be recorded as well as potential studio versions of '...Daddy's Voice' and 'No One Can Hold A Candle To You' and anything else Our Moz still has up his wonderful sleeve.
