Alex Krinsky
Summary
Morrissey is selling merchandise on his official UK store that replaces "The Smiths" with "Morrissey" on artwork inspired by two classic Smiths albums: Meat Is Murder (1985) and The Queen Is Dead (1986). The designs closely mirror the original album artwork, swapping the band's name for Morrissey's in nearly identical typography while retaining the familiar layouts. This follows last year's attempt by Morrissey to sell the band's name, artwork, and merchandising rights.
