Morrissey's Southpaw Grammar

NEWS: The new Morrissey album, Southpaw Grammar, which is slated to be released later this year, offers a couple mysteries to Morrissey devotees.

The U.K. release is tentatively scheduled to include a picture of boxer Kenny Lane, taken from an April, 1963 issue of The Ring. Due to copyright difficulties, if the Lane picture can not be used in America, the U.S. cover should feature a recent picture of Morrissey.

The first single will be "Dagenham Dave" and the sleeve will include a childhood picture of Terry Venables, a U.K. soccer commissioner. Track number 8, "Southpaw", ends abruptly with a distortion rip which is deliberate - Morrissey and his band played on and on until the tape ran out, accounting for the rip.
