A few days ago, UMGD released an awesome album of Morrissey's greatest hits. I had pre-ordered it, so I will received it in a few days. Check out the album and let me know what you think:

Cigar and yak? Weird, but I like it.

Any Morrissey is good, but that compilation is odd. Not truly 'greatest hits', and an odd definition of 'best of' (I Just Want To See The Boy Happy wouldn't fit either, I'd say), and leans too heavily on Ringleader. I'd stick with the original LPs. There are so many gems on the likes of Vauxhall and I (Now My Heart Is Full, for example) or Your Arsenal (You're Going To Need Someone On Your Side) that should be included.

I actually have a very odd taste and I kinda agree, but I still think there are a lot of people who would totally dig the album.

I wouldn't have thought Morrissey needed a street team.

I would have thought there was a strict definition of Greatest Hits but then it doesn't work for the Champions League either!

Odd choices I agree. I would stick with buying the CD albums because each of them contains treasures or a great lyrical turn of phrase which makes buying the album worthwhile.
