Morrissey is one of those rare artists whose B-sides seem just as likely to be worthwhile as his singles, and we obviously mean that in the best way possible. For this reason, news of his upcoming SWORDS B-sides record (due out November 3 in America and October 26 across the pond) seems more than welcome. The album covers single B-sides from his last four albums that the man himself chose, and will be supported by a tour that begins in Seattle in late-November. Tracklists and dates commence…
