<p><i> When we posted <a href="http://turntablelab.com/products/morrissey-your-arsenal-180g-vinyl-lp" target="_blank">Your Arsenal</a> on <a href="http://facebook.com/turntablelab" target="_blank">Facebook</a> as "the last Morrissey solo album that mattered," </i> Labheads rushed to the defense of <i>Vauxhall and I</i>. On the strength, I revisited the 1994 release, and immediately realized I was wrong. Is there a better Moz opener than "Now My Heart Is Full"? "I Am Hated For Loving" perfectly encapsulates the asexual Moz prose-speak floating over simple melodies. "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" is the lineage of Moz declarative songs such as "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now," and "The Lazy Sunbathers" creates another vague character in the Moz-verse next to Fatty, Alsatian Cousin, Bengali In Platforms, etc. And apparently, the original pressing of this is super-rare, going for $150-200 on the secondhand market (before this, the first vinyl repressing).</p> <ul> <li>180g black vinyl pressing</li> <li>UK import</li> <li>housed in gatefold jacket w/ printed insert</li> <li>original release year: 1994</li> <li>music label: Parlophone 2014</li> </ul> <h6>reviewed by the mgmnt 06/2014</h6>
