Morrissey's "World Peace Is None of Your Business" to be reissued - COVER ART

Ex Smiths frontman Morrissey, through his official fansite "True to You", announced plans to re-release his last album, "World Peace Is None of Your Business". It originally came oiut via Harvest Records in July 2014, but after a drawn-out back-and-forth between label and artist, it was removed from digital and streaming platforms.

Moz first signed to Harvest in January 2014. In May, Harvest released a spoken word music video for “World Peace Is None of Your Business.” By August, he criticized the label for not releasing any videos that “fully understand the intent of the song.” Within a month of the album’s release, "True to You" reported that Harvest dropped Moz from the label. On August 20, 2014 Morrissey cleared the air with a long note. He detailed his relationship with Harvest, saying just why he did not support the spoken word videos, among other grievances. The album was then removed from digital platforms and the videos disappeared from YouTube.

There are no details about the "World Peace Is None of Your Business" re-release except for its cover art, featuring a photo of Renée Jeanne Falconetti from the 1928 silent film "The Passion of Joan of Arc".
