Morrissey has spent the last 5 years on fire in terms of his studio output. With Years of Refusal garnering him more critical acclaim and commercial success earlier this year, he’s putting out a B-sides album.
Swords will hit shelves in the US on November 3 and feature the supplements to singles from You Are the Quarry, Ringleader of the Tormentors and Years of Refusal. Initial pressings will include a bonus disc of live material recorded in Warsaw this past July.
Here’s the track listing:
