On June 3 Parlophone Records follow the February CD/DVD reissue of 1992’s Your Arsenal with the next album in his considerable catalogue, 1994’s Vauxhall and I. Like Your Arsenal, the remastered CD of Vauxhall is packaged with a previously unreleased live concert performance.
Vauxhall and I was a very different animal than its predecessor. Since the release of Arsenal, the artist had suffered the loss of that album’s producer, Mick Ronson. He paired with producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Big Country) for Vauxhall. Lillywhite crafted a spare, often acoustic aesthetic to match the dark, somber and introspective songs written by Morrissey with his collaborators Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer. Whyte and Boorer both contributed guitar to the LP and were joined by…
onny Bridgwood on bass and Woodie Taylor on drums. The result was a stripped-down, elegiac, less heavily guitar-oriented LP.
Parlophone’s press release describes it as follows: “Vauxhall and I signaled an acceptance of ageing amidst the tyranny of time, casting off the shackles of the past, with a will to embrace the future. Along the way the album visits a cast of characters, including, references to Brighton Rock – gorgeous, exhilarating album opener ‘Now My Heart Is Full’ – those whom disregard all social conventions and ‘take life at five times the average speed’ (‘Spring-Heeled Jim’) and rejected romantics (‘Billy Budd’ – also a Herman Melville character). It also lays waste to ignorant and selfish tourist whom are ‘jaded by stagnation’ (‘The Lazy Sunbathers’), the unthinking and unquestioning (‘Why Don’t You Find Out For Yourself’ – later covered by The Killers), and tackles the inevitable loss of innocence (‘Used To Be A Sweet Boy’), amongst other inimitable themes.”
Despite the personal nature of the material, however, the artist scored an unexpected hit. Lead single “The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get” became his only song – either solo or with The Smiths – to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., where it reached No. 46. It also reached No. 1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. In his native United Kingdom, the track went all the way to No. 8, and was the artist’s only Top 10 of the decade. The album itself was also a success. In the U.S., it made the Top 20 of the Billboard 200; in the U.K., it became Morrissey’s second No. 1 album after his 1988 solo debut Viva Hate.
This twentieth-anniversary Definitive Master of Vauxhall and I has been freshly remastered by Bill Inglot. The bonus CD presents Morrissey in concert circa on February 26, 1995 at London’s Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. The concert’s fourteen tracks include five selections from Vauxhall, music from Your Arsenal, the non-LP single “Boxers,” and a performance of the Henry Mancini/Johnny Mercer standard “Moon River.”
