Morrissey Curating A Ramones Album

Morrissey has curated the upcoming Best of the Ramones CD and DVD which will be put out by Sire/Rhino. He has not only picked the track list but also the cover artwork for the album.

He has confirmed his first London show since 2011 and will be coming to The O2 on Saturday November 29.

The singer has had a busy year, releasing his highly acclaimed autobiography in October 2013, selling 110,000 in its first week and spending five weeks at #1.

His long awaited album World Peace Is None Of Your Business marked his first solo release since 2009’s Years of Refusal. The album charted at number 2 in the UK, and is Morrissey’s 12th top ten UK album. With all twelve tracks produced by Joe Chiccarelli in France, the record is musically rich and worldly.

This will be also be the first time Morrissey has performed in the UK since 2012, in which the new date follows a major tour across the US earlier this year.

Recent controversy with his record label, Harvest Records, has resulted in World being pulled from all digital retailers. Physical copies remain available.

The itinerary of the European tour:

10/06 – Lisbon, Portugal – Coliseum
10/13 – Rome, Italy – Atlantico
10/16 – Milan, Italy – Teatro Linear
10/17 – Bologna, Italy – Paladozza
