      I didn't even care enough to follow when this was coming out. If I'm not up to date on the details of a new morrissey album, greatest his or otherwise, you can assume that 99.9 percent of the public cares even less. It hurts a little to say that.

        and he thought showing his bare ass inside the cd cover would help hype up the sales. Goes to show no one cares about Morrissey's bare ass and the writing his ex boyfriend inked onto it. No, nobody cares about such crap in 2008.

        "Madonna is the closest thing to organized prostitution" Morrissey, 1986

        He's one to talk. Such a whore, and for what? A couple thousand units in a market of hundreds of millions? Obviously he's not going on the strength of his weak material and is desperate to get noticed in other ways but come on... showing your butt? No class. The younger Morrissey from the eighties and early ninties would've puked and the very idea of becoming what he has become.

        Apparently, all but a few thousand die hard Moz fans who went out and bought that trash agree with me.

          Most people who would buy this round of greatest hits bought the import already. what was it like almost a month between UK date and the US date, and for what a few tracks from the hollywood bowl? i already got the bootleg. but anyways i still bought it on a whim while at best buy. :D

            The cash register weighs lightly on his back (Score:0)
            My brother kindly bought the latest and not so greatest hits. Live 'bonus' (where bonus means it costs extra) cd was good, the main cd was pure shit. The songs don't sound remixed to me, and what a shite collection overall. I know, I know, nobody forced anyone to buy this thing, but nobody forced Moz to block his ears to everything but the sound of the cash register opening and banging shut on his fan's fingers.

            which comes in very excellent high quality record and packaging, as well as a fold out pic of moz' ass. That is why i really got it.

            Can someone please tell the printer that PETA is not in MA, but in VA. I saw this on ringleaders and now on this. PETA is in virginia, what a big error x2.

            Also it noted that on the cover picture, that no one knows who took the pic and they could not get the copyright. Time to look in moz' little black book for the real photog

              are actually quite good. Yes, it's unfortunate that he didn't just save them for an album of new material. I'm sure the Greatest Hits thing was cooked up by the record label. I think all of you whiney, bitter Moz criticizers need to lay off, stop bitching, and just be happy you have two new songs to listen to. If I have to read one more smug asshole write "reissue repackage" like it's some clever indictment of Morrissey's greed and hypocrisy I'll vomit.

                      I've seen 35 + shows dating back to 1991 (not as many as some but still pretty damn good, I think) and I own every album and about 20+ singles, including an import of "thats how people grow up"

                      I'm simply not going to buy this album b/c THERE IS NO POINT. I have everything on it.

                      I guess I'm a shitty fan.
