This book is really great if you are somebody who is really into Morrissey--or even if you have just a slight interest.You get to see the hard work of touring the world which is normally kept behind the hard-to-reach gates of backstage.A great book for anyone with ANY interest in the world of Moz.

Morrissey Shot, by Linder Sterling, offers fans of British recording artist Morrissey an exclusive look into the rigors of touring and live performance. A photo biography, all of the pictures are taken from Morrissey's tours of the US, Europe, and Japan in 1991 and 1992. Sterling has been a personal friend of Morrissey for years and captures her subject in a variety of different settings- onstage playing to a hysterical audience of thousands; readying for performance backstage with fellow band members; sunbathing on off-touring days, and much more. For diehard Morrissey fans, the book is an absolute must- but could just as easily be enjoyed by those who only have a passing interest in the singer

This is a great book for those who not only enjoy Morrissey's music and songwriting, but who also like to look at him ;) Linder Sterling is an excellent black and white photographer who chose the Kill Uncle Tour- a prime time indeed- to showcase her work with him.

Linder Sterling, long-time companion of Morrissey, has here collected all her photographs of the star in question, all ranging from the time with The Smiths to his solo career. The photographs display Morrissey in different moods, all ranging from his superficial superstar egocentrecity to his extremely introverted vunerable self. A great book for the fans, or just people studying photography.

It's lovely to look at pictures of Morrissey online, but the experience is enhanced ten-fold when holding the photographs in your hands. Much credit to Sterling for capturing Morrissey's essence.

After gazing at countless photographs of Morrissey, I still get that magical mysterious feeling whenever I see pictures of him. This book is definitely a must have. The world still won't listen.
