Morrissey has had another dig at Universal Music’s Capitol Records, which was going to release his new album ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ and then wasn’t.While it’s not clear exactly why Capitol bailed on the Morrissey record – though we can possibly guess – he reckons that if the Universal label can invest time in promoting Sam Smith’s satanism, it should be able to deliver his new album to some streaming platforms.Morrissey announced a deal with Capitol in the US last year which was meant to result in the LA base of the Universal label releasing ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ this month.That deal overtly excluded the UK though, where – of course – Morrissey is now generally deemed too controversial, or at least too annoying, to want to work with. Plus, more specifically, there had been criticism about the album’s title track and its references to the 2017 bombing of the Manchester ArenaHowever, despite that deal in the US, by November the release of ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ was on hold.
