Both are great photos.

The bathtub one I remember from Linder's MorrisseyShot.

The other one was chosen to represent that whole Your Arsenal period.

Pretty nice. I really like the Glue cover

Morrissey in a bathtub...:yum:

While I'm sure it's not exactly meant to, I feel like the "Very Best" sleeve won't really entice potential new fans. :squiffy: Idk, to me there is just something awkward about looking dead on at a naked guy's hairy legs and feet. A good shot, perhaps, but not really an "iconic" or "definitive" image, I feel. Ah well. Won't be buying it anyway, so I'm not all that concerned :p

But it is kind of definitive, no? With the tongue out and the clever look and the fact that he's put a picture of his naked self on the sleeve. I believe it'd attract much more attention from someone who sees it in a record store shelf than any if the earlier greatest hits albums which didn't really stand out in any way. (Maybe if they'd put the inner sleeve photo from the 2008 greatest hits on the cover that one would have done even better as well. Or at least it certainly would have gotten a lot more media coverage.)

Well, I guess looking back at the past it might be a LITTLE more definitive than I first realized. Definitive of his PERSONALITY, perhaps. Personally, I liked the shot used for the 2008 Greatest Hits front sleeve -- a previously unseen shot that for me seemed to capture the passion of the music. But I'm not moaning over it -- he can do whatever he pleases -- just my two cents worth :D

Wot no cherry? :(

And ~ any chance of controversy with the 'Glamorous Glue' sleeve? It's a beauty to me, but The Guardian blogs might not see it that way.

[roky]

Wot no cherry? :(

That was what I was going to say. They shouldn't of cropped the cherry placed on the tub. That, to me was one of the best parts of the picture.

Don't like the Best of sleeve, but really liking the GG one

[Mozza220559]

My take on the Very Best of cover, I know he's not on RCA but I thought I'd make it look a bit more official an realistic, plus I could get a good Major Minor logo. Alright bitches?

^^^^ This. If I didn't already have the songs, this sleeve would definitely make me want to buy it more. Not bad at all.

[dreamchild]

He looks like a corpse in the bathtub one, the police have just busted his door down and were confronted with THAT floating in the bathtub, GEE WHIZ.

[Emotional Guide Dog]

I quite like both of those photos. I can't see there being much controversy with the GG sleeve for a variety of reasons: even with the EDL around, it's still safer ground than it was in 1992, plus, sad to say, he could put a picture of him strangling a kitten on the front, no-one's going to be paying that much attention.

I think Morrissey & EMI know the new best of isn't going to sell very well so why not have some fun with the artwork?

Oh my god, this is so awesome. I love Moz doing it Chris Isaac style.

[Stoned]

The bathtub one does not really fit , IMHO. The other one very cool indeed, one of his best.
Cheers Moz

Maybe it's a reference to his soul. "Soles" of his feet.

Well done. Not characteristic of your other design work. :p

It's certainly not going to make him popular in the Muslim world.

[DAVIE]

I like the front cover...See's Morrissey in quite a cheeky mood, I like that :p

[JoanOfArc]

amazon.de germany does not list the very best of morrissey which is confusing as they do list the glue vinyl single and cd
http://www.amazon.de/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_i_0?rh=k%3Amorrissey%2Ci%3Apopular&keywords=morrissey&ie=UTF8&qid=1300369992#/ref=sr_st?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=morrissey&qid=1300370010&rh=k%3Amorrissey%2Cn%3A255882&sort=-releasedate

does anyone can help me with that?i didsearch for it in any way possible
i normally dont order cds via amazon cause i had the experiene tof cds falling out of the thingy which holds them and through the post travel comes in all scratched...
i also read that they dont pack the vinyls very well..i always asked at ebay to put in cartonage inside the cartonage envelope as well..
other than that i was satisfied with them

[sistasheila]
