        			In 21 years of going it alone Morrissey has produced nine studio albums and just as many compilations. Topping a year that has seen a live DVD and&#xA0;unnecessary remasters of mid-1990s albums Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted &#x2013; in addition to beefy studio album Years of Refusal &#x2013; is Swords, Morrissey&#x2019;s first collection to be entirely made up of B sides.&#xA0;&#xA0;In addition to an eight-track bonus disc culled from a concert in Warsaw, Swords features 18 B sides&#xA0;spooling back from this year to 2004, the year Morrissey returned from years of stabbing pins into effigies of Mike Joyce &#x2013; not to mention establishment opprobrium &#x2013; to be garlanded as the saviour of intelligent pop with You Are the Quarry. That album&#x2019;s singles provide most of the tracks here, although those from the luscious Ringleader of the Tormenters era dominate the stronger first half.Though the majority is co-written with band mainstay Alain Whyte, the two proper stand-outs, the open-hearted Christian Dior and the experimental Sweetie-Pie, were respectively written with band veteran Boz Boorer and ex-keyboard player Michael Farrell. Some of the most out-there minutes Morrissey&#x2019;s put his name to, the looping, warped Sweetie-Pie features the four-octave vocals of one-time support act Kristeen Young and helps form the three-track highlight of the album with&#xA0;Christian Dior and the swaggering, Chrissie Hynde-backed Shame is the Name. From Kirsty MacColl&#x2019;s sweet sass on Interesting Drug to Siouxsie&#x2019;s velveteen tongue on Interlude, it&#x2019;s always been welcome to hear Morrissey&#x2019;s laggard croon lightened by a female voice, but few if any tracks here match the calibre of&#xA0;those&#xA0;two songs.&#xA0;Not that there&#x2019;s been a fatal lack of quality control &#x2013; there&#x2019;s no Slum Mums here, thankfully &#x2013;&#xA0; it&#x2019;s more that Swords largely sounds like what it is: an off-cuts album from someone who shouldn&#x2019;t be content with the plodding mediocrity of the likes of I Knew I&#xA0;Was Next. Though there&#x2019;s the occasional modest jewel to be found here &#x2013; including the &#x2018;hidden&#x2019;, roughshod cover of New York Dolls&#x2019; Human Being &#x2013; it&#x2019;s hard to work out who&#x2019;ll make the investment bar those that dissect every eyebrow quiver on the fan boards. --Nadine McBay Find more music at the BBC  This link will take you off  in a new window

*by P***T on 2 November 2009*









  
  
    Live performances usually sound better at the time I guess. Even taking that into account the freebie shipping with this is in my view pretty uninspiring. My advice, unless you are a collector rather than just a fan, would be to eschew this Warsaw concert malarky and download the tracks on the main disk you don't already have. To be totally honest though, you have got to be a pretty die hard Mozette to enjoy the self-indulgent "Sweetie Pie" or the uncharacteristically prosaic offering "Children in Pieces" so I would hang on to your 69p in those cases.Having said that, there is a curious album-like quality to this collection which leaves me contented enough that I parted with £12. Be sure about this however. Morrissey is not listening to our reviews of this release, be they positive or negative. Long may that continue.

    b sides galore
  

*by M***N on 14 June 2019*









  
  
    Morrissey has done some brilliant b sides. you often wonder why some of them didn't make it onto albums. I have all the songs and just bought the cd for my collection. all quality songs no fillers
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    b side Moz
  

*by J***K on 23 June 2015*









  
  
    Any release by Morrissey is worth a listen but his track record of b sides is very strong. Worth it for the cover of Drive in Saturday alone but has many other great tracks on it
