Morrissey - Education In Reverse.

Very RARE cassette.  Australia / New Zealand import.  

The working title for this album was "Education In Reverse" and was changed to "Viva Hate" at the last minute.
Australia wasn't told and the album was released as "Education In Reverse". However, according to Morrissey's autobiography the label actually refused to use the correct title "Viva Hate".

Most copies were recalled, but some still exist (Cassette and LP).

Perfect Condition.

*  The Smiths were a British rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. The band consisted of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke, and drummer Mike Joyce. They gained significant popularity in the 1980s with their unique blend of indie pop, jangle pop, and alternative rock.

Some of their most well-known albums include "The Smiths" (1984), "Meat Is Murder" (1985), and "The Queen Is Dead" (1986). The Smiths are often praised for Morrissey's distinctive and emotive vocals, Marr's intricate guitar work, and their intelligent and poetic lyrics.

Despite their critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase, internal conflicts within the band led to their breakup in 1987. After The Smiths disbanded, Morrissey and Marr pursued solo careers, both achieving success in their own right.

The Smiths left a lasting impact on the alternative music scene, and their influence can still be heard in the work of many contemporary bands.

*  Morrissey, full name Steven Patrick Morrissey, is an English singer, songwriter, and author, born on May 22, 1959, in Davyhulme, Lancashire, England. He rose to prominence as the lead singer of the alternative rock band The Smiths, which was active from 1982 to 1987. The Smiths are widely regarded as one of the most influential bands of the 1980s.

After the dissolution of The Smiths, Morrissey pursued a solo career and released numerous albums. His solo work often explores themes of alienation, introspection, and social commentary. Some of his well-known solo albums include "Viva Hate," "Your Arsenal," and "Vauxhall and I."

Morrissey is also known for his distinctive voice and his provocative and controversial statements, both in his music and public life. His lyrics are often poetic and introspective, and his music has had a lasting impact on the alternative and indie music scenes.

In addition to his music career, Morrissey has written an autobiography and has been involved in various social and political causes. Over the years, he has remained a polarizing figure, with a dedicated fan base and criticism for his views and comments on various issues.
