Morrissey album pulled from iTunes
Morrissey’s ongoing spat with Universal’s Harvest imprint has escalated, resulting in his latest album, World Peace is None of Your Business being removed from iTunes in the UK and US – although it is possible to buy individual tracks, and it is still on Spotify. The move comes after a new statement from the singer on Morrissey zine True To You, which goes into more depth about the apparent fall-out with Harvest and Capitol from the former Smith’s perspective.
“I might be wrong, but I think World Peace Is None Of Your Business will instantly disappear from iTunes and record stores and every download-upload-offload outlet on the planet, because Harvest technically have no right to sell it,” says Morrissey in the latest statement, which accuses Harvest of being cheap.
“Most of the Harvest team are very nice, and I sincerely thank them for trying and caring so much – even if their promotional duties were fully undertaken by the Morrissey audience themselves, whose You Tube videos for World Peace Is None Of Your Business fully provide the art that the label could not muster. The listeners instantly understood how entertainment could also be art.”
“Staggeringly, I still believe that there’s a label out there with my name on it, and one that will issue World Peace Is None Of Your Business, and afford it the respect it deserves,” the singer finishes.
