Johnny Marr To Release New Live Album 'Adrenalin Baby'

Johnny Marr, former guitarist of The Smiths, has announced he will release his debut solo live album, 'Adrenalin Baby' on October 9 through Warners.

The 17-track double album collects his live performances over the past three years and most of them are taken from Marr's O2 Academy Brixton and Manchester Apollo shows in October 2014. 

In addition to his solo material, the album also features covers of tracks by The Smiths, including 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' and 'How Soon Is Now?' plus a cover of The Clash's 'I Fought The Law'. There are also interpretations of Electronic "Getting Away With It" and The Clash’s "I Fought The Law". 

"I wanted to capture the atmosphere and feeling of the last couple of tours," says Johnny of the album. "It’s been a special time and the album is a document for fans who were there, and for people who haven’t seen me and might want to check out what the shows are about."

As well as a digital and CD release, 'Adrenalin Baby' will also be available as a limited-edition pink double-vinyl with a poster. Pre-order information will be available soon.
