Only magazines including interviews, lengthy articles or essays are included here. The very first reviews are sometimes included. To list every record or concert reviews and short articles without interviews would be a neverending task, and a pointless one. If you feel something should be mentioned here or if you have more details (topics covered, interviewer name, photographer name, title, etc.) about these entries, please me to let me know.

For a list of magazines in which Morrissey letters were published from 1974 to 1981 (so before the Smiths were formed), click here.

The only difference is that this time Morrissey's people replied to the accusations instead of ignoring them.
