By September 1987, he had begun work on his first solo album, Viva Hate, recorded with musicians Vini Reilly and Andrew Paresi. \u003cbr\u003eMorrissey's first solo performance took place at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall in December 1988. The event attracted huge crowds, with NME observing that 'the excitement and atmosphere inside the hall was like nothing we have ever experienced at any public event'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBacking Morrissey were ex-Smiths Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, as well as the one-time Smith, Craig Gannon, filling in as lead guitarist. The set-list featured a mix of Morrissey songs with Smiths tracks from 1987, so none of it had been performed in front of a live audience before. Admission was free to anyone wearing a Smiths or Morrissey t-shirt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded for live radio broadcast but not previously released on CD, this short but dynamic show is now available here for the first time. Including too, Morrissey's final interview while still a member of The Smiths, the final track includes the full conversation the man had with journalist and presenter Muriel Gray in November 1987.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eStop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDisappointed\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eInteresting Drug\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSuedehead\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Last Of The Famous International Playboys\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSister I'm a Poet\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDeath at One's Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSweet and Tender Hooligan\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMorrissey Interview 1987\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonic Boom\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternative\/Punk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 03\/13\/20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 823564031248\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"CHROME DRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48858366738681,"sku":"SON0368","price":3.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/SON0368.jpg?v=1787171747","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/morrissey-first-amongst-equals-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
