Morrissey – ‘Viva Hate’ (Remastered) LP Gatefold Black Vinyl LP

Released in 1988, Viva Hate announced Morrissey as a formidable solo artist, retaining the wit, melancholy, and provocation that defined his earlier work while embracing a broader, more orchestral sound. This remastered gatefold black vinyl LP presents the album with renewed sonic depth and refinement, allowing its emotional complexity to fully resonate.

Produced by Stephen Street, the album balances sweeping arrangements with intimate, cutting lyricism. The remaster enhances separation and dynamic control, giving strings, guitars, and rhythm sections greater definition while placing Morrissey’s unmistakable voice firmly at the centre. On vinyl, the warmth of analogue playback softens edges without dulling impact, lending the record a more natural, immersive flow.

Tracks such as Suedehead shimmer with melodic confidence, while Everyday Is Like Sunday unfolds with cinematic scope and aching restraint. Deeper cuts reveal newfound nuance through improved tonal balance and reduced surface noise, rewarding attentive listening on quality hi-fi systems.
Housed in a gatefold sleeve that reflects the album’s stature, this edition is ideal for collectors, audiophiles, and fans seeking the most complete and emotionally engaging way to experience Viva Hate.

A landmark solo debut, restored with care and presented as it deserves.
