Morrissey: Your Arsenal 12″

Description

1992’s Your Arsenal is the Grammy-nominated third solo album from former Smiths frontman and cult-hero Morrissey following Viva Hate (1988) and Kill Uncle (1991). Handsomely produced by Mick Ronson the year before his death, the dynamic 10-song set continued Morrissey’s meteoric rise as a solo artist and provided no less than five singles with “We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful,” “You’re The One For Me, Fatty,” “Tomorrow,” “Certain People I Know” and “Glamorous Glue.”

Morrissey to Uncut on why he chose Mick Ronson to produce Your Arsenal’: “I was struck by the enormity of Micks contribution to every record hed played on arrangements, incredible guitar, beautiful backing vocals, classical piano he did it all, and he was northern and glamorous. He asked me what kind of LP I wanted to make, and I said, One people would listen to for a very long time, and he said, Oh, all right then, as if Id asked him to put the cat out.”
