NME special Morrissey 'Collectors' edition out now (released June 19, 2014)

The rarities list also claims that the 'studio version' of Cosmic Dancer is best. Does such a thing exist?

I bet they confused "That's Entertainment" for "Cosmic Dancer."
 
Whoever wrote that "rarities" article is a fool.

Absolutely. Striptease With a Difference not released because of Candle in the Wind '97 record pressing demands? Never mind that the edition of Viva Hate it was slated for came out months before the crash. Nancy Sinatra's Let Me Kiss You? Same backing track as Morrissey's version.

Truly, utterly tosh.
 
The most interesting thing about this issue is that the only interview to be curiously omitted from this comprehensive cash-in is the Tim Jonze/Conor McNicholas 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' cover car-crash from December 2007.
That's the one that he took them to court over 4 years later.
And the one that the NME had to subsequently 'apologise' for.
No re-print, nor even a mention in passing.
Funny that.

Nice pics but.
 
Yup, "Melanie," a track Morrissey had zero involvement with — definitely a top Morrissey rarity.

Yeah and how are A Swallow On my Neck and the extended version of Piccadilly Palare rarities? The former was a b-side only for about two years, until it was issued on a catalog-issue compilation what, 16 years ago?

And Palare is super rare...you know, as long as you disregard the fact that it has been on the re-issue of Bona Drag for the last two years...
 
'My Insatiable One' was not released as a B side. Or did I miss that one? I thought I had them all.

They do actually mention 'Melanie' is not by Morrissey.

Why don't you make a single for 'Melanie' with 'My Insatiable One' as a B-side? Perhaps you can fool Jesse Tobias again into thinking it is the band's next single...don't forget the barcode, though.

14 Of The Best Morrissey Rarities - NME.com

This week, NME's Special Edition Morrissey collector's issue hits the shelves, so to celebrate, here are 14 of Moz's finest rarities. First up is 2001's 'Striptease With A Difference'. Plans were initially laid for it to appear on a limited edition best of in 1997... until Lady Diana died and CD processing plants were so overloaded with 'Candle In The Wind' that it had to be shelved.
