===Recording===
Recording for ''Viva Hate'' commenced at The Wool Hall studios in Bath, England in early October and would last until late December. Street recruited Durutti Column guitarist [[Vini Reilly]] and session drummer [[Andrew Paresi]] to back Morrissey, with Street himself taking over bass duties.
===Release===
''Viva Hate'' was was released on 14 March 1988 by HMV Records and debuted at #1 on the UK charts.
===Re-releases===
EMI, in celebration of their 100th anniversary, released a special edition of ''Viva Hate'' in the UK in 1997. In addition to featuring brand new artwork, including a new cover shot by Eamonn McCabe, the Centenary Edition features 8 bonus tracks — only one of which was contemporaneous with the album. Surprisingly, "[[Hairdresser On Fire]]" does not appear on this version despite originally appearing on the North American version of the album as a bonus track.
On 02 April 2012, a newly remastered special edition of ''Viva Hate'', supervised by Stephen Street, was released. Controversially, Morrissey chose to omit one of the album's original tracks, "[[The Ordinary Boys]]," and include the session demo "[[Treat Me Like A Human Being]]." In addition to the track list changes, the intro and extended fadeout of "[[Late Night, Maudlin Street]]" has been edited. The original album artwork was restored for this release, however, the typeface font on the front cover has been changed, as was the case with the 2011 [[Bona Drag]] remaster.

Lyrics

Angel, Angel
Don't take your life tonight...

I know they take and that they take in turn
And they give you nothing real for yourself in return
But when they've used you and they've broken you
And wasted all your money and cast your shell aside
And when they've bought you and they've sold you
And they've billed you for the pleasure and they've made your parents cry

I will be here
OH, BELIEVE ME
I will be here
...Believe me

Angel, don't take your life
Some people have got no pride
They do not understand the urgency of life
But I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
