“All You Need Is Me” is among a handful of new songs to have graced Morrissey’s set list over shows in recent months and was performed earlier this year on Later With Jools Holland along-side “Something Is Squeezing My Skull”, “That’s How People Grow Up” and the classic “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys”.

The “All You Need Is Me” single formats will feature new songs as exclusive b-sides.

“My Dearest Love” and “Children In Pieces” were recorded in LA with multi-award winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla who has won Oscars for his scores for the films Brokeback Mountain and Babel and Baftas for his scores for Babel and The Motorcycle Diaries. They feature additional production and were mixed by Jerry Finn, producer of 2004’s widely acclaimed ‘You Are The Quarry’ (a #2 album in the UK).

A third b-side, a cover of David Bowie’s “Drive-in Saturday” recorded live at the Orpheum Theatre in Omaha, Nebraska in May 2007, completes the set.

Finn has also produced the ‘A’ side “All You Need Is Me” and is currently finishing production of Morrissey’s new studio album, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2006’s #1 ‘Ringleader Of The Tormentors’ which is due for an Autumn 2008 release. ‘Greatest Hits’, spanning Morrissey’s 20 year solo career, is out now on Decca/Polydor and features 9 top 10 singles amongst its 15 tracks.
