Another Morrissey Compilation is Coming

February 22, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

If you thought you already had the best of Morrissey on CD - even if you probably do - Moz is going to prove you wrong with The Very Best of Morrissey, a new CD/DVD compilation due in April.

If our count is correct, this is Morrissey's seventh or eighth compilation, but it's good to see he's still active. The track list collects pretty much all the hits you'd expect from the HMV/Parlophone era of 1988 to 1995, including a few choice B-sides and single material (U.S. mixes of "Tomorrow" and "My Love Life" from the early 1990s make rare compilation appearances, as does the full version of Morrissey's B-side cover of "Moon River"). The sole unreleased track is a fully solo version of the non-LP single "Interlude," originally sung as a duet with Siouxsie Sioux.

The set will come with a bonus DVD as well, compiling the best of Moz's videos along with one unreleased TV performance - his first live appearance on a show other than Top of the Pops - on Tonight with Jonathan Ross in 1990. The best of the unreleased material will be found on a single released to promote the compilation; "Glamorous Glue" from 1992's Your Arsenal will feature two outtakes as B-sides ("Safe, Warm Lancashire Home" on the 45 and "Treat Me Like a Human Being" on CD, both from the Viva Hate sessions in 1988).

The set will be out on April 25. Have a look at the full track info after the jump.

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
