They already own the records, and the recent guest list is genuinely startling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free.

One-off contributors branch off as short spurs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this Morrissey discography tube map art makes a gift fans keep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour albums with one band, then four decades with a rotating cast. The map holds both, so the Smiths' years sit at the left-hand end as a tight bundle, and everything after them fans outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost fans know the early half. Very few could name who is on the last three records, and that is where the map earns its keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContributing musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorrissey is the only line running the full length. Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce run beside him across all four Smiths albums and stop together in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoz Boorer is the longest line of the solo years by a distance, joining at Your Arsenal in 1992 and still present thirty years later on Bonfire of Teenagers. Alain Whyte arrives with him, leaves after Years of Refusal, and returns for the most recent album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViva Hate opens the solo half with Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column on guitar and Stephen Street on bass, alongside a small string section. Mark E. Nevin of Fairground Attraction takes the guitar chair for Kill Uncle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnnio Morricone arranged the strings on Dear God Please Help Me, from Ringleader of the Tormentors in 2006. It is one of the least likely single stations anywhere in my catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJesse Tobias picks up guitar from that album onward, with Gustavo Manzur and Matt Walker carrying much of the later sound. Chrissie Hynde and Jeff Beck both appear once on Years of Refusal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last three records are the surprise. California Son brings in Billie Joe Armstrong, Petra Haden, Ed Droste and, credited for dog barking, Little Willie Iniesta. I Am Not a Dog on a Chain adds Thelma Houston, Greg Leisz, and two people credited simply as \"laughing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonfire of Teenagers is the busiest guest station of all: Flea, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, plus Iggy Pop and Miley Cyrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
