You Are the Quarry is the seventh studio album by Morrissey, the former lead singer of The Smiths. It was released on 17 May 2004 by Attack Records.

Reception

The first single "Irish Blood, English Heart" became his highest charting single in the UK at #3 and received significant airplay in the US, going to #36 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album charted at #2 in the UK, held off the top spot by Keane, which prompted Morrissey to joke in concert at the time, "With regard to the album 'You Are the Quarry', if your name is Keane then you better leave now". It became Morrissey's highest charting album in the US, reaching #11.

Alternate editions

In October 2004, Attack repackaged and reissued You Are the Quarry as a two disc Deluxe Edition. The second disc collected the nine b-sides from the album's first three singles, as well as music videos and live TV performances from the record, including Morrissey's live performances on American TV show, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.

Some versions of the packaging do not show the full frame on the cover, but only a crop of Morrissey's face, cropping out the machine gun.
