It was later used in a colourised form as a tour backdrop and first observed at Vicar Street, Dublin during Bonfire Of Teenagers (July 15, 2023).

The subject of the image was Eileen Sheekey:

Approximately one month after the usage of said image, it was an industry rumour that Interlude would be the 2024 Record Store Day release.
There are conflicting reports as to the amount made for RSD coupled with reported regional supply issues, but previous RSDs have been circa 3000-5000 copies.

Initial reports at the time suggested that Morrissey and Siouxsie had recorded Timi's "Hurt". It is unknown if it was ever recorded or was just misreported.

Yet another unnecessary, unimaginative cash-in from Moneysey.
How many times since the first Smiths days has Morrissey said the most nasty things about other singers and bands, about how they lack originality and spark and energy and talent?
And still the sycophants on here will shoot me down.....
 
If anyone is interested in researching Eileen's family, they should be aware that the family surname is actually Sheaky: although there are one or two variations of spelling, this is by far the most usual spelling in her family's records.
 
Yes, that's precisely what I want to spend my Saturday morning doing: jostling in line for hours with a bunch of stale-smelling, lonely nerds at my local indie record shop for the chance to buy one of the three copies available for a disc that I bought 30 years ago.

f*** Record Store Day -- it's the biggest scam to the industry since "color variants" became a thing.

I agree it is a big scam. But I joined the queue at 7:50, was in the shop by 8:10 and was out with what I wanted by 8:20.
Then straight home for a long wan.. sleep. A long sleep.
