Was this the one he said not to buy? Or is this something else? Pretty recent pic.

Speaking of Morrissey releases, did you see last summer where they rereleased "Maladjusted"?

Honestly, I never even heard the album, but I saw this rerelease in Borders, the cover was different, very attractive, I don't know if it was remastered, but it said it included a newly-written introduction by Morrissey or something.

Looks like he's constipated and hurt his leg at the same time.

This re-release is a great purchase with remastered tracks and all the B-sides from the singles off this release- I personally think this album is one of Morrissey's lost gems: 'Wide To Receive', 'Trouble Loves Me' and title track being strong 90's Morrissey greats (also the extra tracks are fantastic- "Lost" being one of them). Get it if you are curious.

VinnyM27 said:

No- this is an actual Moz release...there is an old EMI singles/b-sides being released that he said not to by- "Swords" is ok

Some great, great songs on that collection.


Of course, I know this cos I bought the singles they were on

So now I am going to shell out my OCD pennies on an 8 song live CD.

Double pack, with a photograph, extra track and a tacky badge.

I'm hoping the photo will be a gate fold expansion of the cover with Foster and Allen tapping Morrissey on the shoulder, 'Excuse me, this is our shoot'.

Let me buy his newest hits set than maybe I'll consider this. I don't actual know any of the songs. Are Morrissey b-sides considered very good?

Why isnt 'my love life' on it?

This is a B-sides collection. "My Love Life" was an A side
