MORRISSEY JOINS THE JRA

Platinum selling Alt rocker Morrissey pays homage to guitar legend, Ramones founder and American icon, Johnny Ramone on his latest single 'Something Is Squeezing My Skull', (the opening track from Morrissey’s new album 'Years of Refusal'). The cover for the new single features Morrissey alongside the 8-ft tall, bronze, Johnny Ramone memorial statue located at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

Two different covers (pictured here) will be available in CD single format. The primary image (with Johnny’s guitar in full view) is also the sleeve of the limited edition vinyl 7-inch. Both photos are featured (along with a Morrissey cover story and interview) in the winter ’09 edition of Filter magazine on newsstands through April 2009.

Each edition of the single comes backed with a different song performed live for the first time ever by Morrissey and his band at Radio 2's recent “Live With Morrissey” concert. Both CDs and the 7" are available separately but you can pre-order all three and collect the entire set for half the price. Visit Morrissey’s Official Website for more info. Look for the single in stores throughout the UK (and wherever imports are sold) on April 27th.
