Description
"Piccadilly Palare" was a single released by Morrissey in October 1990.
The song features one of Morrissey's former colleagues from The Smiths, Andy Rourke, marking the last time any former member of The Smiths would collaborate with Morrissey.
As with "November Spawned A Monster", Morrissey chose to write about a subject unusual in pop music, namely male prostitution around the Piccadilly area of London. The title of the song refers to the cant slang language polari, first used by male prostitutes in the 19th century and then taken up by homosexuals in the 1960s to disguise sexual activities which were illegal in the UK until 1967. It was also used in the BBC radio comedy Round The Horne by the characters Julian and Sandy.
The voice in the background belongs to Suggs, the lead singer of the band Madness.
The record is shiny and clean. The cover is glossy and clean (see photos). Grading is visual only.
