Following the announcement last month of the 20th anniversary Special Edition of 'Bona Drag', to launch the album the week before EMI will release through the resurrected 1960s Major Minor label, with Morrissey's full cooperation, a special edition of his timeless 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' single.
Originally released in 1988, 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' reached no. 9 on the UK singles chart. The song is one of Morrissey's - if not the ' greatest and most-loved English pop singles ever released, in what has proved an inimitable and prolific career. Its distinctive opening bass line and stabbing and sweeping strings frame a melancholic, yet uplifting anthemic lament of apocalyptic foreboding, amidst a forgotten seaside town.Written in a prose which evokes the poetic prowess of John Betjeman or Philip Larkin, 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' is a gloriously eternal piece of high-pop-art, which has endured to become a favourite of each new generation.
In keeping with the song's pop classicism, it will be made available on two vinyl 7-inche singles ' the first with an orange
Major Minor label and a rare Morrissey photo on the cover; the second with a red, black and white MM label and range bag - as well as an
E-CD and digital download, with all formats featuring previously unreleased songs, including the alternate version of
'November Spawned A Monster', 'November The Second' (E-CD), and an incredibly rare TOTP's performance of 'Everyday Is Like Sunday', which is unavailable anywhere, including YouTube.
All of this has been remastered and overseen by Morrissey himself.
