'Best Of' to be released in February

Morrissey has announced the track listing for his greatest hits record, due for release on February 11.

The collection spans the former Smiths frontman’s 20-year solo career.

New single ’That’s How People Grow Up’, which features on the collection, will be released on February 4.

The release follows the 90s compilation 'Suedehead', a collection of the singer's best work for his old label EMI, with the latter collection focusing more heavily on his more recent releases.

'In The Future When All's Well'
'I Just Want To See The Boy Happy'
'Irish Blood, English Heart'
'You Have Killed Me'
'That's How People Grow Up'
'Everyday Is Like Sunday'
'Redondo Beach'
'Suedehead'
'The Youngest Was The Most Loved'
'The Last Of The Famous International Playboys'
'The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get'
'All You Need Is Me'
'Let Me Kiss You'
'I Have Forgiven Jesus'


The 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl' bonus CD tracklisting is:

'The Last Of The Famous International Playboys'
'The National Front Disco'

This doesn't seem to be very representative... most of it is from the last two albums with the two singles from Viva Hate. Suedehead The Best Of, is much closer to a career round up, even if it doesn't have the magnificent Life Is A Pigsty

apparently morrissey and his fans have very differing views on what is considered a "greatest hit." where is hairdresser on fire?

True. But it is released on my birthday so all's fine by me.

His label should have releases a double CD of "greatest hits" or a double CD "singles" collection. I'll probably just be buying the new single and pass on this collection.
