Description

November Spawned A Monster was released in 1990 as the lead single from Morrissey's second solo studio album, Bona Drag. Written by Morrissey and Clive Langer, the song is one of his most thought-provoking and emotionally powerful recordings, exploring themes of isolation, vulnerability and societal prejudice through his unmistakable lyrical style.

Although controversial upon release due to its subject matter, the single received widespread critical acclaim and has since become recognised as one of the standout moments in Morrissey's solo catalogue. This original UK 12-inch single also features exclusive recordings unavailable on the parent album, making it an essential release for collectors.
