I think it would be safe to say that no one gave a better interview than Smiths-era Morrissey. His witty and hilarious statements used to entertain me for hours - to the point where I had most of those interviews memorized word for word. (Obsessive? Moi?) This archive is my loving attempt to resurrect some of his most entertaining interviews for the benefit of those fans who missed out on them the first time around. As time goes on, more interviews will be added, including some rare Johnny Marr interviews, and this archive should form an excellent historical survey of those glorious halcyon days of The Smiths. I have also included, wherever possible, the photos that were published in the original interviews. Always keep in mind that these words and images are here for your own personal enjoyment! Any attempt to reap funds from them shall result in a severe flogging!!! You have been warned.
