This topic might have been covered before- couldnt see it on the search:

Was there a collaboration of 808 with Morrisey?

No there was never a collaberation with Morrisey,
though in an early city life article(cue nick) Martin says that one was
in the pipeline,I dont recall this but,then he use to take a lot of the calls at the shop so possably? seems unlikely.
there was a smiths mega mix that we laboured over in spirit,it was truely a pigs ear ,

Shame - was hoping there was a track hiden in the archives - just like the Booth track.

I red about this in a brazilian magazine decades ago saying something like "808 state is so good that the electronic music hater morrissey agreed to do a collaboration"

That's a wierd compliment, but it's still a compliment.

Perhaps 808 state could write a track in the style of Morrisy - to make up for the lack of the track - what would that sound like??

Ps not really worthy of its own topic: Blue Peter trailer sounds a lot like insane lover - but isnt!

I would have loved to, but am on holiday at the end of April for a week which is going to take up most of my finances...

Add to that the number of (possible) New Order gigs that I want to go to this year, and finances may well be directed towards that!

On the Morrissey front, this is the NME news article of 18th November 1989 that first mentioned the rumour:
