In preparation for Morrissey’s 2014 release World Peace Is None of Your Business, three different live EPs have been released (in different formats) under the name Satellite of Love<\/em>. Like most Moz EPs or anything Moz for that matter, the die\u2013hard fanatics buy them up right away and not only begin their lyrical analysis of the content but their historical analysis of the work hoping to learn just a little bit more about the mystery that is Morrissey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three different formats for\u00a0Satellite of Love<\/em>: MP3, 7″ picture disc and 12″ vinyl. All three of these EPs have the same first and second tracks. The first track is a cover of Lou Reed’s “Satellite of Love.” To really understand why this live cover is the namesake of this EP, you need to really understand how big of an influence Lou Reed was to Morrissey. In Morrissey’s biography he wrote “The daring brilliance of early Lou Reed takes its place with the literary greats, partly because he denied all tradition in his writing and physical presentation. With his Velvet Underground, life itself was the moveable stage; lowbrow, imaginer, maker, self\u2013regarding, susceptible to the will to corrupt.” This is a pretty high compliment from Morrissey considering his frequently references to Oscar Wilde and William Shakespeare in his lyrics. I think that this cover is done very well and the live recording sounds about as good as any live recording can be. It was recorded at The Chelsea Ballroom, the Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas on 25th November, 2011. As most fans know, Morrissey is only as good as he wants to be live. I was not at this show but from the likes of this track I can tell he must have been on that night. I have always been a fan of Lou Reed solo stuff so I took to this track right away. I also think that Lou and Moz kind of traveled the same path, they both stand on their own with amazing solo careers, they were both way ahead of their time in forming ground breaking bands. So this cover seems like a fitting tribute to Lou.https:\/\/www.punknews.org\/review\/12677\/morrissey-satellite-of-love<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
