2010 Re-Issue with expanded tracklist in teal colour vinyl

Bona Drag is a compilation album by Morrissey released on 15 October 1990. The album features an array of Morrissey's most popular songs from his early solo career, most of which had not been released on any previous album. The album name meaning nice outfits is an example of the subculture slang Polari explored further on the album's first track "Piccadilly Palare". The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 6 December 2000.

In 2010, the album was remastered and expanded to include six bonus tracks. The artwork was edited and inner artwork updated with previously unseen photos chosen by Morrissey.

It entered the UK charts at number 67. The reissue notably included several edits, including removing a verse from 'Ouija Board Ouija Board' and restoring a previously cut verse to 'Piccadilly Palare'.

The 2010 re-release features the following additional tracks:

  • "Happy Lovers at Last United" (Outtake from "Everyday Is Like Sunday" sessions)
  • "Lifeguard on Duty" (Outtake from Viva Hate sessions)
  • "Please Help the Cause Against Loneliness" (demo) (Outtake from Viva Hate, previously covered by Sandie Shaw)
  • "Oh Phoney" (Outtake from Bona Drag sessions) (Morrissey, Armstrong)
  • "The Bed Took Fire" (early version of "At Amber")
  • "Let the Right One Slip In" (alternate long mix) (Morrissey, Alain Whyte)


The following changes have been made to the original album:

  • "Ouija Board, Ouija Board" has a verse removed ("The glass is moving, no, I was not pushing that time")
  • "Piccadilly Palare" has an extra verse, as has circulated on bootlegs ("A cold-water room")
  • "Interesting Drug" fades into "November Spawned a Monster"
  • "Suedehead" edited to remove guitar fade on the intro.
