Quietus favourite Morrissey has apologised to fans for his recent Swords compilation album after describing it as a "disaster".
Speaking on www.true-to-you.net, he suggested that the B-sides collection – which charted at number 55 in the UK – was too expensive.
He said: "I am sorry that ‘Swords’ was such a meek disaster. It was proposed and accepted as a budget-priced CD, yet emerged everywhere as the most expensive CD in the racks.
"It was poorly distributed and didn’t stand a chance, and ranks as the lowest chart position I’ve ever encountered."
