About this product

Swords is a portfolio of Morrissey's B-sides and it is a tribute to his writing prowess that he can release such an album that puts the A-sides of most acts to shame. Taken from the three albums since his phenomenal comeback You Are The Quarry, each track demonstrates the ongoing and unwavering talent of one of world's most revered musicians.

Three albums since You Are The Quarry, Morrissey's 'Swords' was released just after his 50th birthday and clearly demonstrates the continued development of his songwriting skill. The album also shows off the talents of Morrissey's long-time collaborators, including Alain Whyte, who has worked with him since 1991, and describes him as "a mentor and brother and father figure."
