Promotion:
UK: This album seems to have been mainly promoted in the UK through its singles. Stock copies of the cd with a 'MANUFACTURERS PROPERTY, NOT FOR SALE' and release information stickers on the back seem to have served very limited promotional purposes.

Argentina: "Our Frank" was included on a 8-track various artists promo LP (DIF042), very likely to promote this album.

Brazil: Copies of the stock LP with a promo sticker on the back of the sleeve served as promos. "Our Frank" was included on a 4-track various artists promo EP (EMI Odeon 9951 236) sent to radio around the time of release of this album.

France: A press kit in a folder including a 8-page press release and 4 black and white press photos was sent by EMI France to important media.

Japan: Promos cds have a red and white promo sticker on the back tray inlay and 'sample not for sale' etched in black around the cd's inner ring.

USA: One-track cds of "Our Frank" were sent to media at the time of release of this album in the USA (Sire/Reprise, PRO-CD-4732, generic label back artwork in image gallery, no front artwork to display). Some media were sent a 3-page media info press kit with a 8x10 black and white press photo of Morrissey. For more, see album's singles "Our Frank" and "Sing Your Life".

Quotes

"I met Boz through a mutual friend, Cathal, who sings in the group Madness. I went through a period when I saw a lot of Cathal, he was a very close friend, and he introduced me to Boz because I had done an album called "Kill Uncle" which Cathal thought was rubbish..... and he wasn't necessarily wrong. He wanted me to move away from Mark Nevin who had co-written "Kill Uncle" which I was prepared to do because I didn't actually know Mark that well. So, Cathal saw Boz as a writing partner for me, but it has obviously developed into a long and precious friendship. Boz is perfect company as well as being very funny."
- Morrissey on meeting guitarist Boz Boorer, Q&A on "True To You", June 2007

"Recording something for the sake of recording delivered Kill Uncle unto the world, and I am finally up against the limits of my abilities, whilst surely not fooling anybody. Having been so right, it is suddenly shocking to be so wrong, yet Kill Uncle is number 8 in England and number 52 in the US. It will always be the orphaned imp that nobody wants, and even I - its father and mother - find it difficult to feed."
- Morrissey, "Autobiography"
